Marguerite D. Emerson Obituary
We are sad to announce that on March 20, 2018 we had to say goodbye to Marguerite D. Emerson (Cottonwood, Arizona). You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
Later in retirement, she became a "rock-hound', and took silver-smithing classes and began creating jewelry with silver and polished and cut stones. She also took up stained glass art and did panels to go beside the doors of the Mt. View Christian Church in Tucson, AZ as well as a baptistry mural. Marguerite is preceded in death by her husband, Loren W. Emerson (63 years of marriage), parents, Martin and Stella Hawkins, her sisters Angeline Layman and Eileen Carlsen and her brothers Dale and Richard Hawkins. She is survived by her daughter Gayle Benjamin (D. Stephen), granddaughters Anna Robinson (Noel) and Kathryn Hernandez (Jeremy), and four great-grandchildren, Isabella, Iliana, Alarik, and Jose. She also has a number of nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Mt. View United Methodist Church, 901 S. 12th St., Cottonwood, AZ, Aviant Hospice, or House of Ruth. A Celebration of Life service will be held on April 28, 2018, Saturday at 10:00 A.M. at the Mt. View United Methodist Church, 901 S. 12th St., Cottonwood, AZ; and also, there will be a service the day before at the Cottonwood Village Auditorium, 201 E.
