Born June 7, 1928, in Pasadena, TX, Margie Sue (Ramsey) Childs was the daughter of the late Sidney Marvin Ramsey and Florence Valeta Hearn Ramsey.  Margie graduated from Timpson High School in 1945 and became an Air Force wife when she married G. Terrell Childs on June 28, 1946.  She was a devoted military wife.  About 63 years ago, she left Timpson by train with two small children in tow.  We left New York by ocean liner to meet Dad who was stationed at Skulthorpe Air Force Base in England.  Together we moved to Lockbourne, Ohio and moved back to Timpson when Dad retired.

 

Mom taught Sunday School and enjoyed singing in the church choir.  She loved to bake pies and make quilts and give them away.  She would take produce from her garden and give to her sisters who weren’t able to garden.  Mom loved the Lord and set a good example for her husband, three children, family, and friends.

 

Margie is survived by husband Terrell Childs; sons, Philip Childs and wife Kathy and Jim Childs and wife Lisa; daughter Sue Childs Pinkston; sisters Avis Stamps and Alma Bridwell; niece Betty Parker; 4 grandchildren: Rob and wife Denise, Stephanie and husband Tim, Elaine and husband Kristian, and Brock; and 3 great grandchildren: Jessica, Nathan, and Ashley.

 

In addition to her parents, Margie Sue Childs was preceded in death by brothers Roy and James Ramsey and sisters Grace Pledger, Troy Webb, Mary Lavennie Galbreath, and Emma Milford.
