She was preceded in death by her parents, along with her loving husband, Cecil Leon Lawing; sister, Dorothy G. Shrum; grandson, Ricky Brandon Owens; brothers-in-law, Charles Lawing (Dean), Howard Lawing (Betty), and Jackie Lawing.
She is survived by her two children, Kimberly H. Mull and fiancé Wendell Hendrix of Lincolnton, and Gary L. Lawing and fiancé Lauren Hawkins of Maiden; four grandchildren, McKenzie N. Mull, Ashley L.

Margaret’s legacy continues through a large extended family, included many nieces, nephews, and cousins who will cherish her memory forever.
Margaret was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, and was very active in her church community.
She and her late husband, Tony, were the founders of Lincolnton Paint and Glass in 1973. They both worked there until retirement; however, the business still remains in the family. She was also a makeup consultant at Hazel Keller Cosmetics and loved selling Princess House Crystal. Some of her main hobbies outside of work were working in her garden, and watching her Atlanta Braves.
Margaret Lived her life to serve the Lord and obeyed God’s will. She shared love and kindness with everyone and was always willing to help those in need.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the caregivers who provided so much love and care to Margaret. They are Cherish Carter, Penny Jones, Lynn Jones, Becky Airy, Teresa Corvin, and Terrie Arwood.
