Mary Marguerite Barnes

Mary Marguerite Barnes passed away at 105 years old on Jan. 14, 2023, at Owen Valley Healthcare Center.

Marguerite was preceded in death by her father, Walter C. Sanderson; her mother, Ethie M. Sanderson; brothers Estes and William Sanderson; and her husband, Owen Barnes.

Marguerite is survived by her son, Victor Barnes; her grandchildren, Stacy Tucker and husband Brad Tucker, Tracy McBride and husband the late Tim McBride, Chad Receveur and Trisha Barnes and her fiancé Scott Husler; as well as her great-grandchildren, Brady Tucker and wife Mira Tucker, Mitchell McBride and fiancée Katie Hammett, Mathew McBride and Aydin Receveur.

When Marguerite was not helping to run the farm, she enjoyed gardening, taking nature walks, sewing/quilting, baking her delicious pies and going to church on Sundays.

The good Lord called her home to be reunited with her beloved husband and family.

Marguerite will be missed as a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend and priceless member of her community. We were privileged to have her with us as long as we did. We love you and we will miss you.
