Margaret was a long time election judge for Bond County. Throughout the year, she would stop in to see how we were doing in the office and to make sure we didn’t forget to schedule her for the election! We always loved Margaret’s visits and her stories. Election Day will not be the same without her. Rest in Peace Margaret.

I’m so sorry to hear about Margaret, I’ve known her most of my life growing up in Sorento! Whenever I would see her, we’d talk and talk, I always enjoyed visiting with her!! I’ll fondly remember her!!
Mrs. Reed was often a visitor to the Auxillary Thrift Store in Greenville. I could always count on a big smile and be updated on what was going on in her life. She was a delight and will be missed.
