Obituary for Margaret Lawrence (Martin) of Raleigh, NC 
October 6, 1938 - November 16, 2016

Margaret Lawrence Martin (78) lost a valiant battle with cancer complications November 16, 2016. 

Margaret was born on Peace Street in Raleigh, NC, daughter of Donnie E. and Hancy Dixon Lawrence. She graduated from Broughton High School and attended East Carolina Teachers College (now ECU). She was a nanny to several families whose now-grown children have maintained a connection throughout the years.

Margaret married Gene Martin in 1961 at North Street Baptist Church and celebrated 55 years of marriage this past August. 

Her favorite things were reading, gardening, animals (especially grand-dogs), and traveling the US and overseas, with a particular love for the United Kingdom.

She is survived by her husband, children Lori, Larry (Katharine), Margaret Rose Faison (Larry), and Kenneth (Rob Horne). One of her greatest joys was to brag about her children and three grandchildren in uncountable conversations with friends and strangers alike.

She is preceded in death by her parents, brothers Donnie E. Lawrence Jr. and Howard Lawrence, sister Rose Ennis, and son Richard Thomas.

Published in The News & Observer from November 20 to November 27, 2016 In Raleigh, NC.
