Margaret Deeds Obituary

On December 31, 2022, Margaret Deeds died peacefully at her home in Mason Michigan, surrounded by her family. Margaret, age 93, was the daughter of the late Glen and Alice England from Gardner, Colorado. She was preceded in death by two daughters, Kathy Deeds and Debbie Spears. She is survived by her daughter Janet (Gary) Brewer of Mason MI; grandchildren Jessie Judkins, Jennifer Branch, Jeremy Brewer, and Jonathan Brewer; great grandchildren Kaitlin, Brianna , Ella, Paige, Julia, Nolan, Molly, and Kelsey. She had a special place in her heart for Mackenzie, Jacob, and Nathanial.

Margaret taught school in Durango, Colorado from 1968-1994. She taught first grade, third grade, and kindergarten at Mason, Needham, Park and Florida Mesa. Margaret moved to Michigan in 1999 to be near her daughter but always held Durango close to her heart. Her friends and community were dear to her. She loved birdwatching, playing bridge and euchre, quilting, bowling, solving puzzles and she was a master of computer card games.

A private graveside service will be held in late spring with burial in Mason, MI. The family requests no flowers.

Mrs. Deeds was my kindergarten teacher at Park Elementary School. She was Avery kind and caring teacher that I still think often. My condolences to her family.

Mrs. Deeds was my kindergarten teacher at Mason in the 1970's. I have fond memories of that year, and of her gentle guidance of all her students. Most definitely she set me off on the right path for school and learning, and I am grateful. Sending wishes of peace and comfort for her family.
