Barrett, Marguerite Ann “Marge” or “Grammy”, 97, died April 20, 2014, Easter Sunday morning at home in Denison. Mrs. Barrett was born June 10, 1916 to Mary E. and Michael J. Grady in Lowell, Massachusetts.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years, William “Bill” Barrett and their son Michael John Barrett. Marge is survived by her sister Doris Spinney, 94, of Lowell and two children, daughter Sheila McNiff Lasley and husband John Lasley of Wilmington, NC, and William F. Barrett, Jr. and wife Joan Barrett of Chelmsford, Mass. She is also survived by 6 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, whom she adored, as well as numerous, nieces, nephews and cousins.
Marge and her husband lived in Valrico, Florida for 25 years and for the last ten years she has lived with her oldest grand-daughter, Mary Beth Edgette and her husband, Bill and great-grandchildren, Allyson and Keghan in Denison, Texas.
She was an avid golfer, teaching others her love and talent at any opportunity. She held the title of Women’s Club Champ at Mount Pleasant Golf Club in Lowell for 12 years from 1962-1975. Her pastime was keeping up with all the professional players, young and old, feeling like she was there at the venue with them.
Grammy will be missed by her family for her unconditional love and gentle spirit. She loved to laugh and listen. Watch over us and keep us safe, our gentle angel on the earth and now in heaven.
A memorial Mass will be held Friday, April 25, 2014 at noon at Saint Patrick Catholic Church, Denison, Texas. Future arrangements for a Mass of Christian Burial in her home town of Lowell are pending.
In lieu of flowers, please support your local hospice or the Home Hospice of Grayson County who so graciously and gently assisted.
