Then she went on to marry the love of her life Jimmy Darling, Jr. September 8, 1979 in Big Spring. She was a dedicated wife and mother that loved her family dearly. In 1989, she graduated from Howard College with a degree in accounting. In May of 1991, she became a team member at Cosden Credit Union and with that her love of helping the community grew. She devoted almost 30 years to Cosden Credit Union and took pride in helping the community. She was also a long-time member of Hillcrest Baptist Church. In her free time, she often crocheted blankets which she often won prizes for in the County Fair. She cherished spending quality time with her husband and her precious family. Spending lunch on Saturdays visiting and loving on her dear mother and sisters. She loved to laugh and to talk about the future that God has in store. If you were blessed enough to know Margaret, you know that she was a true child of God. She displayed a heart for her Heavenly Father in all she did and who she was- her beautifully kind heart, her delight in selflessly helping others, her unforgettable, infectious laugh… She leaves us far too soon, but she leaves behind a legacy of a servant’s heart. She showed this not only with her words but with so many actions of love.
