Margaret Ann Hughes Tilson

January 19, 1929 — March 12, 2023

Chilhowie, Virginia

Chilhowie, Va.

 

Margaret Ann Hughes Tilson age 94, passed Sunday, March 12, 2023 at Johnston Memorial Hospital, Abingdon, Va.

 

Margaret Ann was a loving wife, mom, mamaw, sister, and friend. She worked hard keeping places all over the area spotless. Especially her church, Riverside Baptist, until she was 91. Margaret Ann loved her church and was faithful most of her life. She was famous for her butterscotch pies, but was too shy to brag. When not working, she loved working puzzles, watching Jeopardy, and talking on the phone – but not while Jeopardy was on! Margaret Ann will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

 

She was preceded in death by her husband, David C. Tilson; parents, William and Margaret Hughes; special nephew she raised as a son, Roy Hughes; siblings, Isabelle Hockett, Nancy Jones, Libby Overbay, Billy Ed Hughes and Mary Perry.
