Margaret Grace Asher's Obituary
Margaret Grace Asher, 98 years young, was called home by her Lord on December
16, 2019. Heaven has gained an angel and she is singing with the heavenly choir
and smiling her beautiful smile.
She was born on July 23, 1921 in Robeson County to the late Maggie Eagle Taylor
and Charlie Rhodes Taylor. Margaret was preceded in death by her sisters, Gladys
Taylor, Annie Ruth Taylor McLaurin and younger brother Charles L. Taylor (Jack)
as well as her beloved husband, James Farmer Asher II. Her only son, James
Farmer Asher III passed away in 2017.
When Margaret married Farmer on September 4,
1943, he was in the U. S. Army.
After getting out of the Army, they moved to Kentucky, Connecticut and Michigan
due to job changes. When they moved back to Lumberton, NC Margaret owned her
own dress shop for several years. After selling her dress shop Margaret moved to
Raleigh, NC to live with her son, Jim.
Margaret was affectionately called "Granny" by her family and many friends. She
loved the Lord and became very active in Friendship Baptist when she moved to
Raleigh. She enjoyed her Sunday School Class, the worship services, choir and the
fun bus trips she took with the church.
The last 2+ years, Margaret has lived at Wellington Rehab & Healthcare in
Knightdale, NC. The family would like to thank the entire staff for the wonderful
care they gave her. When Heartland Hospice Care was called in to assist, they also
showered Granny with tender love and affection. The family also would like to thank
Margaret Griffin, who for many years has been the daughter Granny never had, her
closest friend & has loved and cared for her since her son's passing 2 years ago.
She is survived by her grandchildren; LaDonna Hasty, Michelle Watson, Ann-
Margaret Asher, Sean Asher, Anthony Asher along with 7 great grandchildren and
3 great-great grandchildren.
Her funeral service will be held at 11:00 on Monday, December 30, 2019 at
Friendship Baptist Church, 5510 Falls of Neuse Rd, in Raleigh, NC.
Immediately after the service, she will be transported to Meadowbrook Cemetery in
Lumberton, NC to be buried beside her beloved husband. A brief graveside service
will be conducted by Floyd Mortuary & Crematory.
