Margaret Louise Whitehead went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus, on Wednesday, January 25, 2012.
Her smile and her kindness will be missed by many. For the last one and half years she resided at Creekside Village rest home. Thanks to the nurses, aides, and staff for all of your love and kindness to her.
She was born in New Castle, Texas on September 16, 1925, and was 86 at the time of her homecoming.
She was part of a kind and loving family that taught Christian morals and principles. She had these principles and morals all the way to the end. Don't know of anyone she didn't like.
The McKibben family were some of the first pioneering families that came and started up Lake Jackson. Although Louise did not come until after she graduated from high school, which was just about a year.
She was one of the charter members; along with her family, of First Baptist Church in Lake Jackson.
Louise taught in the public school system for 29 to 30 years. She taught in first grade and also second grade, in Elizabeth Ney. Her first years to teach were the 1946-1947 school year.
