Margaret Ann Anderson Timmons was born in Newton, Kansas, on 
September 21, 1931, and fell into the arms of her Lord and Savior, 
Jesus Christ on February 4, 2012, following 
a long battle with COPD.

Margaret accepted Christ as an adult and followed as a believer to her 
last breath. She was the daughter of George Anderson and Sarah Rhodes 
Anderson.

Visitation was all day Tuesday, February 7, 2012, at the funeral home 
with the family present from 6 pm until 7 pm. Graveside services were 
held at 3 pm Wednesday, February 8, 2012, with burial following 
in Fairview Cemetery in Bronte, Texas. Services were under the 
direction of Shaffer Funeral Home.
 
Margaret spent her life as a homemaker, residing mostly in Bronte, Texas. 
She owned and operated a daycare for several families, and assisted in 
a grocery store that she and Charles owned in Bronte. She enjoyed
watching television, was a fantastic cook, loved to go to 
garage sales, and loved family gatherings, especially at Christmas.
 
She has resided in several communities in her life, including Lake Jackson, 
Bronte, and finally in San Angelo. Since the passing of Charles in 2009, 
she has lived with her daughter, La Queta and son-in-law, Harold and was 
warmly accepted by their church, and friends in Beta Sigma Phi, and
