Margaret Ann Clemons, 65, went home to be with the Lord on March 11, 2018. Known as "Miss Margaret" to some, she was born August 9, 1952 to the union of L.C. Crawford and Hettie Mae griffin in Jonesboro, Louisiana. She was preceded in death by both parents and one daughter.

As a young adult, Miss Margaret attended and graduated from Lincoln High School class of 1970, where she formed several lifelong friendships which lasted to this present day.

Miss Margaret married Larry Stephenson, Sr. and to this union two children were born. The union was later dissolved and she went on to Curtis L. Mitchell and one child was born to this union. This union was also dissolved and Miss Margaret dedicated herself to her children and work. In 2007, she married her high school sweetheart, Willie Clemons, and from this blessed union two families became one.

Miss Margaret worked for several law firms in the metropolitan area, retiring from Lathrop & Gage after eighteen years. After retiring, she followed her entrepreneurial spirit and furthered her education at Heritage College where she studied massage therapy proceeding to become self-employed.

Miss Margaret accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and rooted herself at Grace Community Baptist Church, under the leadership and teaching of Pastor Troy J. Carson.
