She was the third child and daughter of Maggie Mae Gilpin and Albert Charles Bryson. She grew up in Oklahoma where she met Novie Davis in Braggs, Muskogee Co. They married when she was 18. They had 3 children, R. L., Barbara and Ken. After moving to Califonia they divorced and several years later she married Knowles Shaw Hamrick. He was called Red. She was a wonderful step mother to his children, Karen, Donna, Cathy and Knowlie.
She and Red always had an extra bed or plate on the table if someone was down on their luck or just needed a meal or a place to sleep.
Margie was a mello woman but if angered, look out, sit down and shut up! (Grin)
She could grow anything. Her huge gardenia bush was started from a twig. Her avocado tree was started in her kitchen window from a seed. She had so many beautiful plants growing around her home, inside and out. She was a very good cook and had worked at that professionally for many years before she retired.
Besides her children and step children, she left 11 grand children and many great grand children.
She was a good mother, a wonderful mother in law and a good woman.
On her birthday, her family placed her ashes in her mother's grave, over her mother's heart.
