Margaret G. Timbs

Margaret G. Timbs, age 75, of Johnson City, Tennessee passed away on Tuesday, February 25, 2020 at her home, surrounded by those that loved her. Margaret was born in Johnson City, Tennessee to the late William Claude Garland and Mattie Lee Ellis Garland. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a son, Roy Eugene Timbs; and a brother, James William Garland.

Margaret was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, but had a stubborn and strong willed side. She was employed as an educator at Guildford North Carolina School for four years and she also worked for the Johnson City School System for fifteen years as a substitute teacher. Margaret was of the Baptist faith and was very involved in the Garland Family Research Association. She enjoyed genealogical work, coin collecting, history, cross stitching, fishing and camping.

Those left to cherish her many wonderful memories include her loving and devoted husband of fifty years, Loyd “Rex” Timbs, of the home; a son, Alan Rex Timbs and wife Stephanie, of Gray, TN; three grandchildren, Allison, Andrew and Aiden Timbs; and a daughter-in-law, Kim Timbs. Many other additional family and dear friends also survive.

It was Margaret’s wish to be cremated and no services are planned at this time.

The family would like to especially thank Margaret’s caregiver, Teresa, and Amedysis Hospice for the excellent and compassionate care given to Margaret during her illness.
