In Memory Of
Margaret DeLay - Lubbock, TX

On Monday, November 20, 2023, Margaret Morris DeLay left this life at the age of 90 for a life with her Heavenly Father. She will be joyfully greeted by her husband, Flakie DeLay, her parents, Robert and Lea Baxter Morris, her sister, Bettye Morris Todd, and so many other family members and friends.

Margaret gave her life to her Lord and Savior when she was 12 years old. She was a member of Pioneer Drive Baptist Church and the Love Class where she had many wonderful friends.

She was employed at Hendrick Medical Center for many years, first as a volunteer then as a secretary to the Director of Critical Care, Linda Pinkston.

Margaret was such a special person and she never met a stranger. She loved to help others, volunteering on the bereavement committee at church and visiting nursing homes with a dear friend to provide joy and entertainment to the residents.

Margaret is survived by her two beautiful, loving daughters, Virginia DeLay Beaudoin, (husband, Charles Beaudoin) and Elizabeth DeLay Raymond, (husband, Casey Raymond). She is also survived by her “baby” sister, Myrtice Lea Morris Johnson, (husband, Lee D. Johnson). Myrtice, known as Myrt, was a much-loved sister. She and Margaret shared so many laughs, tears, and stories you wouldn’t believe (ask Myrt about “the box”).

The delight of her life was her three wonderful grandchildren, Austin, Lauren, and Landon Beaudoin. They will never know how much they were loved by their grandmother “Bill.”

Also surviving Margaret are her four special nephews, Ross, Morris (wife, Jagruti), Scott, and Blake Todd. They were like a second family to Margaret. Morris Baxter (wife, Kathy) and Norman Baxter (wife, Carol), are cousins who also survive Margaret.

A small family memorial service will be held at Hamil Family Funeral Home.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says, “There, she is gone!” There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout; “Here she comes!”
