July 17, 1922 — August 19, 2020

Mrs. Margaret Lucille Barringer Taylor, 98, went home to her Lord and Savior on August 19, 2020, at Caremoor Retirement Center in Kannapolis, where she had lived for almost six years after a bad fall. She had been in declining health for a number of years and seriously ill for three weeks. "Lucy" was born July 17, 1922 in Rowan County to the late Ernest W. Barringer and Clara Cline Barringer. She was the only girl out of five children.

She lived in Kannapolis from the age of five. She graduated from J.W. Cannon High School in 1939. During her early years, she worked for Cannon Mills. She then worked for Terry Products retiring after 30 years. She married Wade L. Taylor in 1941, a marriage which lasted for 60 years until his death in October 2001.

She was an active member of First Baptist Church in Kannapolis for many years, until she was no longer able to attend. She was active in her Sunday School Class, Joy in the Morning (watching the children in the nursery), was in charge of the prayer chain for many years and served as a greeter which she enjoyed the most. Known for the poppy seed bread she made, many people were recipients of this delicious bread when they were sick or visited the church.
