Margie Ann Akins

Funeral services for Margie Akins will be held at 2:00pm, Monday, March 6, 2023 at the Northside Church of Christ in Chickasha, OK, with Jim Talbert officiating.  Interment will follow in the Fairlawn Cemetery under the direction of McRay Funeral Home.

Margie Ann Akins, age 39...okay 83, was born in Fort Cobb, OK in 1939 to Ethel Cocheran Akins and Lee Akins.

Margie was next to the youngest of a family of twelve.  She spent all her years dedicated to her large extended family, especially her nieces and nephews, not having children of her own.  She had this incredible talent of knowing all of her family's birth dates and names, including all the spouses and children's names and birth dates.  Her memory was infallible and unbelievable.  She never refused an invitation to attend a holiday event, travel, dine out or shop with her family.  Margie kept a record of all those trips with photos and mementoes which could fill a room or two.  She was a devoted Christian woman, which was her strength when she found herself the last remaining sibling of her much beloved family.  Margie was a long time member of the Church of Christ at 8th and Frisco.  She worked for the Chickasha Public Schools for almost fifty years where she was named the Support Staff of the Year in 2016.

She was preceded in death by her parents and all her brothers and sisters.

She is survived by two sisters-in-law, Orlin Akins and Shirley Akins, both of Chickasha.

She will be missed by all her nieces, nephews, greats, great-greats and extended family.  The next baby in the family will sorely miss her magic touch and special spoiling.
