Margaret T. McCullough, 88, of Charlotte passed away on Tuesday, June 6, 2023 at her residence.

Margaret Marie Thomas McCullough, 88, was born May 5, 1935, to the late Joseph and Myrtle Thomas in Charlotte North Carolina.  She transitioned to her heavenly home on Tuesday, June 6, 2023.

Margaret attended Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools.  She graduated from Plato Price High School.  Following graduation, she attended Carver College. On March 31, 1956, Margaret was united in Holy Matrimony to the love of her life, Roger McCullough, at Woodland Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.  God blessed them with 56 years of marriage until Roger passed away in December 2012.  She dearly loved her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She accepted Christ at an early age.  After her marriage to Roger, she became a member of Salem Missionary Baptist Church where she was a faithful member.  At the leading of the Lord, Roger and  Margaret joined the family of God at Ebenezer Baptist Church on July 4, 2004 where Margaret served in the Missionary Ministry.  She was an active member at Ebenezer until her health declined.

Mrs. McCullough was affectionately known as "Aunt Margaret" and "Grandma" to many in the community.  She truly loved spending time with her family.  Her home was often the meeting place for family gatherings where she was a gracious host.  She had a heart of gold and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.    Mrs. McCullough was known for her friendly, loving and peaceful spirit, and her extensive collection of fine hats. From head to toe, hats to jewelry to sharp outfits to handbags to shoes, Mrs. McCullough was "dressed to the nines" all the time.

She was employed by the Federal Reserve Bank and Mechanics and Farmers Bank. She then worked for Grier Funeral Service, Inc. where she faithfully and diligently served for more than 55 years.  It was truly a labor of love for her.  She brought her caring spirit and loyal dedication to her work.
