Margaret modeled the characteristics of the Proverbs 31 lady in her roles as a devoted wife and loving mother and grandmother. All who knew Margaret admired both her engaging personality and decisive spirit. Margaret certainly lived life with passion and loved all of God's creatures both great and small - with the exception of snakes. She loved studying God's Word and throughout her life as a gifted teacher she shared her talent with others in the adult Sunday school classes she taught in both Calhoun and Oglethorpe.
She was born July 9, 1923 to the late Margaret Carter Byrd Watson and Tillman Watson in Rensselaer, Indiana. At a young age she moved with her family to Calhoun, GA. After graduating from high school in Fairmont, GA she became a dental assistant before moving to Florida, where she served as a flight attendant and later as a chief stewardess for National Airlines logging over 4,850 hours in the air. Mary Margaret married her beloved Fleming Winn Conyers, in 1949.
In 2003 the couple moved from Calhoun, GA to Oglethorpe, GA where they became communicants of the Mt. Zion - St. Luke Lutheran Church and active members of the Oglethorpe community where she participated in various activities, including memberships in the Oglethorpe Lions Club and Garden Club. She loved to travel and her hobbies included golf, playing card games, and playing piano by ear. An avid history buff, Margaret enjoyed sharing information about the history of World War II especially concerning the 82nd airborne division.
