Amory— Margaret Vaughan Noe, 83, passed away peacefully on Friday, February 8, 2019 at The Meadows in Fulton. Born in Amory on April 13, 1935, she was a daughter of Mary Ella Lavies Vaughan and Ellie Lee Vaughan Sr.
Margaret graduated from Hatley High School with the Class of 1952. She then attended Itawamba Junior College. Her sweetheart and classmate, Kenneth “Buck” Noe, proposed to her after returning from a tour with the U.S. Army, and they happily married on July 3, 1953. Margaret worked for over 30 years as a seamstress with Red Kapp Garment Plant before retiring to spoil her grandchildren. She was a faithful member of Hatley Missionary Baptist Church, and her faith in God guided her throughout her life.
A quiet, gentle lady, she and Buck raised a close-knit family and were very blessed. Margaret enjoyed spending time with her close friend, Joyce Head. Above all, Margaret cherished her time with her grandchildren, who affectionately called her “Grandmommy.” She will be dearly missed by her family, and the precious memories they made with her will be remembered forever.
Margaret is survived by her sons, Scott Noe (Diana), Amory, Ken Noe (Angie), Utah; grandchildren, Jessica Liles (Ron), Macon, GA, Alia Noe, Atlanta, GA, Phillip Adrian McEarchern, Pensacola, FL, Leigh Ellen Noe, Amory, Eliza Noe, Amory; great-grandchildren, Hannah Liles, Macon, GA, Daniel Noe, GA; sisters, Sarah Pearson, Amory, Jane Sanders (L.C.), Hamilton; sister-in-law, Nancy Vaughan, New Hope; and brother-in-law, Jack Noe (Louise), Starkville.
In addition to her parents, Margaret was preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth Ray “Buck” Noe; grandson, Paul Noe; and brothers, George “Buck” Vaughan, Gorden Vaughan, Aaron Vaughan, Ellie Lee “Pete” Vaughan Jr., and Cecil Vaughan.
A graveside service will be held at 12 PM Monday, February 11, 2019 at Hatley Cemetery, with Bro. Gary Self officiating. Pallbearers will include friends and family.
