Marjorie Lenore Osborne Watson, 95, of Hueysville, passed away January 8, 2021.

Margie was born December 1, 1925, the third daughter of O.H. and Carrie Allen Osborne. She was later joined by three younger brothers. She held degrees from Alice Lloyd College and Eastern Kentucky University.

Margie was passionate about children’s education and childhood literacy. She taught thousands of Appalachian schoolchildren to read during her 43 years of teaching First Grade in the Floyd County School System.

She was a lifelong member of the United Methodist Church and a devoted fan of Floyd County’s high school basketball teams as well as the Kentucky Wildcats. She was known among friends and family for the delicious fried chicken and exquisite hand-sewn quilts that she made for those she loved.

As we remember the tremendous impact that Margie had on her family, loved ones, and community, her own recent words ring true: “If I go tomorrow, I’ve had a dandy life!”

In observance of COVID-19 protocol, funeral services will be held for immediate family only at Hall Brothers Funeral Home. A Celebration of Life Service will be scheduled at a later time
