Margaret Nanny Davidson was the vibrant, charming, full, rich music of our family. She was always patient, kind and quick to smile, even quicker to laugh. She was generous and loving with a forceful hug and eyes that were lit with a youthful exuberance and sincere affection. She was a competitive game player and a fierce Spoons competitor, yet always remained radiant and lovely. Papa would say isn't she beautiful? She lived a life of compassion, integrity and sacrifice and we listened carefully to the beat she set for our family letting her music enrich our lives and color our future. We are better for loving her and out of step without her. Our family may have lost the music of our hearts, but Papa finally has his back. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest and may the music you hear be eternal. She will be lovingly remembered and forever missed by her children, Donna Mike Cunningham and Suzy Mike Lackmeyer; her six grandchildren, Lisa Cunningham, John Lackmeyer, Cristin Stephen Thomas, Jeff Shannon Lackmeyer, Jay Whitney Lackmeyer and Bonny Lackmeyer; her four great-grandchildren, Trent Thomas, Jenna Lackmeyer, Hannah Lackmeyer and Chase Thomas; her sister, Clyde Dave Johnson; sister-in-law, Lorene FloydDavidson; brother-in-law Roland Davidson, along with several nieces, nephews, and many, many friends.
