God blessed Amos and Irene Tillery with a daughter name Margaret on November 28, 1942. God shed light on Margaret’s battle with cancer on December 5, 2004, when he called her home to be with Him. She died surrounded by her daughter and family members.

She was a resident of Suffolk, before and after travels to Brooklyn, New York and Baltimore, Maryland. Margaret was a faithful member of Macedonia AME Church under the leadership of Pastor Charles Harvin.

She was a dedicated employee of Lipton Tea for 18 years before retiring; she was a phenomenal woman to her family and soldier for the Lord. She was one of the matriarchs of her family even during her illness.

She leaves to celebrate a legacy of her life, her blessed children, Larry of Seaford, Delaware, Faye Mitchell of Suffolk, and Kelvin Gambrell of Seaford; her father Amos Tiller of Suffolk; her supportive grandchildren: De’Quan, Trivelle, Andre’, Cartreia, Jordan, Amanda, Jamal, Tamara, and Jervante; eight siblings: Lee Otis (Suffolk), Larry Va. Beach), Levoil (Philadelphia, Pennsylva-nia), Milton (Norfolk), Billy Earl (Suffolk), Irene (Baltimore), Joanne and Tonya (Suffolk). Her faithful in-laws: Jimmie Jordan (Baltimore), Thomasina (Suff-olk), Louise (Suffolk), and Maria (Norfolk); her aunts and uncles; Frances, Eunice, Geraldine, Richard, Henry, and Millie Jordan; many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family.
