Margaret Ann Lee Goodwin

Margaret Ann Lee Goodwin died at home November 11, 2014 surrounded by her loving family. She was born November 17, 1935 in Monroe, LA.

Margaret was a Phi Mu at LSU where she received her Bachelor of Arts in Education and was a graduate school history major under T. Harry Williams.

Incredibly dedicated to her family, she was proceeded in death by her parents Culbert and Ruth Moore Lee of Monroe, LA and brother-in-law, the Reverend Dr. Dan Frank Goodwin of Kilgore, TX.
