Margie Meharg, 83, of Pleasant Plains passed away Friday, December 2, 2022.
She was born Sunday, January 15, 1939, in Pleasant Plains to Bowman and Lona (Carson) Rickett.
Margie was loved by all who knew her. She touched many lives as she continued her ministry as a pastor’s wife even after the passing of her husband. In later years, when she could no longer visit people in person, everyone looked forward to receiving a phone call on a birthday or anniversary. She sent cards for all occasions and always sent a thank you card to anyone who did anything for her, no matter how small. She supported her church and loved her Lord. We will miss her, but her witness and influence will continue through those whose lives she touched.
Survivors include one son, Sherwin Meharg (Bani) of Pleasant Plains; two daughters, Carla Sample (Glen) of Pleasant Plains, and Reisa Bryant (Doug) of Pleasant Plains; five grandchildren, Paige Langle (Brandon), Taylor Meharg (Kassie), Jeremy Sample, Clint Siler (Kala), and Lindsey Nichols (Billy); eight great-grandchildren, Brantley, Maddox, and Beckett Langle, Kam and Kori Meharg, Caden Siler, and Brody and Hallie Nichols, as well as several nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Herbert Meharg; one brother, Charles Rickett, and one sister, Gwendolyn Pennington.
Pallbearers are Jeremy Sample, Clint Siler, Taylor Meharg, Brandon Langle, Billy Nichols, and Caden Siler. Honorary pallbearers are Brad Rickett and Glen Gordon.
