April 18, 1942 - April 8, 2019
Margaret Ann Rowell Spears, age 76 and a resident of Thomas, died early Monday morning April 8, 2019 at Riverside Medical Center. She was retired from the Washington Parish School Board after a 30 year career as manager of the Thomas School Cafeteria. Margaret loved all the children she saw every day and they enjoyed seeing her. She was a member of Storehouse Church in Franklinton. Margaret enjoyed crocheting and sewing and always loved fishing and visiting the beach. She had a saying “There is never a stranger, just a friend I haven’t met yet”. And she lived her life that way. Greeting people, helping others, ministering to those in need and just being a blessing to all the many people she encountered in life, including the many doctors and nurses that cared for her over these last several months. Margaret was always a loving wife, mother and grandmother to her cherished family. She will be sadly missed by all that knew her.
