Margaret L. Todd StarksYellowRoseMargaret L. Todd Starks, 93 of Raymond, died Thursday, October 22, 2015 at home surrounded by her loving family.  She was born September 15, 1922 in Lawrenceburg, Indiana to the late Owen and Goldie (Brightwell) Todd.

On June 6, 1946 in Lawrenceburg, she married Lee W. Starks.  He died December 24, 1988.  She was also preceded in death by three sons, Gerald “Buddy”, Thomas Edward and Jeffrey Lynn Starks, and a daughter-in-law, Holly Starks.

Margaret was a women I admired.  We spent numerous afternoons visiting while the boys played.  Probably my girls were in the mix.  Margaret's world view was open, accepting, and loving!  All her children, foster children and  grand children can be proud to be part of her family.  You probably have many loving stories, be sure to share them, then laugh and cry together.  Please accept my condolences and prayers.  Pat Dean of York

Your mom was a treasure.  I came to know her through our Senior Watch program.  She has held a special place in my heart and will forever.  I learned so much from her and think of her often.  She was very proud of her family, her service to our country and of her self-reliance.  Margaret was one of those rare people we meet on our journey in life who have a profound affect on everyone they meet.  My condolences to all of you for your loss but what a great addition to heaven.  I can just see her, opening her eyes, seeing Jesus, giving Him her brightest smile and a big hug!
