Margie was united in holy matrimony to her husband Rev. Willis Burnette for 35 years.

She and her husband loved to sing together. The congregation at her family church will remember her singing 'Jesus, Jesus". She was well known throughout the Trenton area churches, singing with the "Gospelettes", accompanied by Bro. George Davis.

She later joined Grace Community Church where her nephew, Rev. Ethan Evans was her pastor. At Grace Community she attended Sunday School faithfully, she was a member of the mother's ministry and sang with the seasoned saints.

In addition to her parents, Margie was predeceased by her brothers, Arthur, Robert, Clifford, Charles, Fred, and James Evans; sisters, Lola Thornton, Mildred Ingram and Doris McClary, and grandson Terrence Carter Jr. Margie's memory will be cherished and forever remembered by her husband, Rev.
