Margaret Ann Fish's Obituary
Margaret Ann Fish, 73, of Madison, Tennessee, passed away on Sunday, July 18, 2021 at her daughter’s home in Murfreesboro. Born March 18, 1948 in Gallatin, Tennessee, she was the daughter of the late Samuel A. Fish and Martha Elizabeth Carmon Fish.
She was a caring partner, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend. After graduating from Madison High School, Margaret chased her dreams to enjoy the simplest of pleasures in life. She loved evenings with friends camping, fishing, and canoeing. Margaret enjoyed spending time in her yard caring for her garden and flowers. She found beauty in the spring flowers when they first bloomed. She had an uncanny ability to find happiness in her daily activities. Her pleasant personality was contagious to everyone she met. She was a caring person that was happy to give to others even though she had little to offer. Visitors to her home rarely left empty handed. She was a wonderful cook who enjoyed hosting holiday meals for her family.
