Margaret Watterson Howard, a resident for many years of Live Oak, Florida, went peacefully to be with her heavenly Father on Father's Day, June 20, 2021. She was born in Trenton, Florida, to Clifford Watterson and Posey (Davis) Watterson on July 13, 1927.

Margaret captured all that knew her with her bright, blue eyes, magnificent smile, delightful sense of humor and gracious personality; to know her was to love her. She lived her life to the fullest in love and in laughter for 53 years with her surviving husband John S. Howard. She was an adored step-mother to  John S. Howard, Jr, Christopher R. Howard and Jo Ann Howard-Heath, and known with great affection as "Maggie" by eight step-grandchildren and twenty-one great step-grandchildren. Margaret is survived by her brother George Watterson and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded by her brother Charles Watterson and her sister Frances (Watterson) Mott.
