Margaret
Griffith
Aug 29, 1937 — Apr 29, 2020
Margaret M. Griffith, age 82 of Reichert, Oklahoma was born on August 29, 1937 in Lohne Germany, to Clemens and Josefine (Hackmann) Froehle. She passed away on Wednesday, April 29, 2020 in the company of her family in Heavener, Oklahoma. Margie was a military spouse that followed her late husband throughout his travels in the Army, birthing 4 children along the way.
As a child she grew up in war torn Germany and remembered that her parents helped hide a downed British Aviator in their basement home until the liberation of Germany from the Nazi Regime. She recalled waving a farewell to him as he rode off on an allied tank.
Margie was a fantastic painter and loved gardening. Her paintings hang in many of her families homes. The flowers she planted many years ago still bloom in the spring of her last home in Reichert, Oklahoma. She was extremely fond of her tulips. Margie also had a great sense of humor and kept many staff members and residents of the nursing home entertained. Most of all she will be remembered as a fantastic mother and Oma.
She was preceded in death by 9 of her siblings and a granddaughter.

Ginger Morgan
One son:
