September 16, 2023. Margaret was born to the late Willie Wilbur and

Bessie Wilbur.

Margaret graduated from Mary Flemings High School. She fell in

many years of faithful service.

Margaret loved shopping, traveling, and baking cakes. She was

known as "Queen of the Red Velvet". She was a loving and caring person

who never had a problem about keeping it real. She was the only girl of

eight children so that made her THE BOSS. She was always protective of

her family because family meant the world to her. She was a loving wife,

grandmother, and a dear friend to many.

son, Todrick Kirby; and brothers, Willie Earl Wilbur, Larry Wilbur, Jimmy

Wilbur, Frank Wilbur, James Wilbur.
