Anna Margaret Coffey Mason passed away on her husband's 90th birthday, January 16, 2016, at her home in Orem, Utah. She had been diagnosed with lymphoma a month earlier and was finally out of pain, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Monticello, Kentucky on July 2, 1933 to Alfred Wilburn and Nancy Ethel Coffey. She married Fred William (Bill) Mason on September 16, 1950 and was sealed to him and their 3 children in the Logan Utah Temple in 1961.
Margaret grew up on a farm and attended schools in Monticello. As a teenager she moved to Lexington and worked at a theater where she met her husband. They eventually moved to Indianapolis, Indiana where they raised their 3 children and made many lifelong friends.
Her greatest joys in life were centered around her family - husband, children, grandchildren, cousins, nieces and nephews. She rejoiced in every effort, achievement, talent and success. She had a gift of making everyone feel like family because that's the way she saw them. She was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and was happy and diligent in her many callings.
