Margaret Kegerries

(From Simpson Funeral Home)

Margaret Arlene Kegerries, born on March 11, 1933, in Butler, Missouri, was a beacon of compassion, love, and generosity. Her wit and warm spirit were the light of our lives, and we are deeply saddened to announce her passing on November 26, 2024. 

In her 91 years, Margaret, fondly remembered as a devoted mother, grandmother and a cherished member of the Carl Junction community for 63 years, left an indelible mark on everyone she met.

Margaret's life was one of enduring resilience, remarkable adventures, and boundless love. She married the love of her life, Ron Sr. (RB), on December 22, 1952, and from that union, their beloved sons, Ron Jr. and Randy, were born. Margaret found joy in the simplest things, whether it was immersing herself in a good book, casting a line out on a lazy afternoon, baking her favorite cookies for her grandchildren and she really loved her time mowing the yard. She worked at Mid-Con Manufacturing for several years until her well-deserved retirement in 1995. Loved and respected by all, Margaret was a proud member of The Cheer givers and The Senior Saints of the Carl Junction Christian Church, where her faith and fellowship brought her immense joy.

Margaret's heart was endlessly generous, and her love for her family knew no bounds, with her grandchildren holding a special place in her heart. Her unwavering support, infectious laughter, and sage advice will be deeply missed by her family.

Margaret is survived by her sons, Ron (Toni) Kegerries Jr. and Randy (Vickie) Kegerries; Sister Phyllis DuBois; grandchildren, Tamara (David) Kennedy, April Beck, Ron III (Shannon) Kegerries, Megan (Chandler) Buzard, Sammye (Ryan) McFarland; 17 great-grandchildren and 7 great-great-grandchildren. She now joins her loving husband R.B., and her parents, Henry and Thelma Walters and brother Don Walters in eternal rest. 

As the poet Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Margaret's legacy of love and kindness will forever resonate in our hearts.
