Margaret McCullers Hornbuckle

August 17, 2013 By Hall-Wynne Leave a Condolence

Margaret McCullers Hornbuckle, 91, died at home on Saturday, August 17, 2013. She was born on November 8, 1921 in Broadnax, Virginia to the late Noel Henry McCullers and Lois Gertrude Weathers McCullers.

Margaret was a long time member of Union Grove United Methodist Church in Bahama, where she taught Sunday school and was active in many church circles. She was one of the original staff members of Mt. Sylvan United Methodist Preschool and daycare. She was a receptionist for many years at Reliance Insurance Company and Gray Bar Electric. Margaret was a very happy lady who enjoyed reading books, bird watching, and having a good conversation with family and friends.

Beside her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband, Ernest Charles Hornbuckle Jr., two sisters, Virginia Straughan and Dorothy Ross, two brothers, Bill and Spoogie McCullers.

Surviving are: two sons, Paul E. Hornbuckle and wife, Ivey of Rougemont and Jerry Hornbuckle of Durham; a grandson, Paul E. Hornbuckle Jr. and wife, Amber of Mississippi; a great-grandson, Paul E. ‘Tripp” Hornbuckle III; a sister, Clara M. Murray of Durham.

The family will receive friends 6:00-8:00 p.m. Tuesday at Hall-Wynne Funeral Service, 1113 West Main St. Durham, where a Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday in the funeral home chapel.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Union Grove United Methodist Church in Bahama or to the Oxford Orphanage in Oxford. Online condolence may be made at www.hallwynne.com

    Margaret was a very special,sweet lady that I enjoyed working with at Reliance for several years. We always used to say “if you want to know what is going on at Reliance, ask Margaret”. Margaret always enjoyed a good laugh. She often spoke lovingly of her family and her church. She will be greatly missed. Donna Christian.

    Paul & Jerry,
    I was sorry to hear about your mom. She was such a nice lady. I have many fond memories of our childhood and your parents. One of the highlights of course was the weekly ‘jeep ride’. Your mom and dad were both wonderful role models. Your dad gave me my first job. I am offering prayers for you and your family. I’d love see you sometime and catch up. I was just at my parents last week and I asked about your mom. Take care and God bless.

    I was Paul’s English teacher at Northern High School. I met Mrs. Hornbuckle when my husband and I were attending Mt. Sylvan Church. She was the loveliest, friendliest lady I ever met. I am so sad for your loss, Paul. You and all your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Linda Moore

    Paul and Jerry, we were saddened to hear about your mom. She was one special lady. She was a kind, loving Christian and everyone at Mt. Sylvan loved her. She loved children and especially her “boys”. You were the light of her life. May God richly bless you.

    Dear Paul and Jerry,

    I am so very sorry to hear about your Mom’s passing. Mom and I just found out today. I feel so bad that we didn’t know about it until now. We would have not missed the funeral for the world had we known. I wish we had been there to support you.

    I know you will both miss her terribly. And know you still miss your Dad. I have such fond memories of both your parents. Your Daddy and mine going fishing and your Mom, she was always so sweet. Always smiling when I saw her and always a friendly word. She was a special lady!

    I will have both of you and family in my prayers in the coming weeks and months as you adjust to life with out her. Pray for God’s peace to surround you and comfort you. Life goes by so quickly and there is never enough time with those we love. But we do look forward to the day we call all be reunited in heaven. Much love to you both and your family.

    Martin and Sherri Thompson and Wesley and Bailey
