Margaret Mary Lemmon

Margaret M. Lemmon, age 96, passed away peacefully on Christmas Eve at Bel Air Assisted Living. She was the daughter of William H. Petticord and the wife of the late Wilfred H. Delbridge and Carroll R. Lemmon.

She was a secretary/bookkeeper for Wm. Barnes Hall Developers for most of her 60 plus years of working. For over 20 years, she kept the books for her daughter in law’s art business, closing her last year out in January, 2018, at age 95! She was a member of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Joppa and served in various positions including treasurer, school board director, Stephen Minister and the evangelical team. She loved her Ravens and watched every game. She took up golf in her seventies and enjoyed playing. In her younger years she enjoyed Big Band dancing in the 40’s, camping, fishing, bowling and gardening.
When a back injury put her in a wheelchair, she kept active doing complicated jig saw puzzles, painting and was a very competitive Scrabble player. Until recently she enjoyed scrolling through Facebook to see what people were up to and playing Words With Friends on her tablet. She enjoyed her trips to the library and running errands. She especially liked keeping Hallmark in business, never missing a card giving occasion. She loved her family and had a very strong faith, was always diligent in her daily Bible study. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
