Margaret Carrier, 90, a beloved mother, the absolute BEST grandmother, great-grandmother, and cherished friend to many, went home to be with our Lord and Savior on April 28, 2025.
Born on November 29, 1934, in Muncie, Indiana, Margaret lived a life full of love, devotion, and quiet strength. She found joy in the simple things-planting flowers, birdwatching, crocheting and completing puzzles. Her nurturing spirit extended beyond her family through her work as a nurse's aide and caregiver, roles in which she served with compassion and dedication. Margaret was preceded in death by her loving husband and best friend of over 55 years, Richard Carrier; her daughter, Kathy Burge (Carrier); her parents; and her siblings.
She is survived by her son Rickey Carrier (Donna); devoted grandchildren Mary Floyd (Byron), Christy Matlock, Bryan Byrne, Jessica Schortinghouse (Jay), and Bryan Carrier (Michelle); and great-grandchildren Ruben Peirson, Rumarius Peirson, Raniya Floyd, Melanie Matlock, Madison Matlock, Raziya Floyd, Aliyah, Adilyn, Abigail, and Alexander. Margaret's legacy is one of unwavering love, boundless generosity, and gentle wisdom.
Her memory will be deeply cherished by all who were blessed to know her.
A service to celebrate Margaret's life will be held on Wednesday, May 7, 2025 at Middletown Church of the Nazarene, 698 N Fifth St, Muncie, IN. Visitation will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., with the funeral service at 1:00 p.m. Pastor Phil Rogers will officiate. Burial will follow in Tomlinson Cemetery.
