Margie Martin Hathaway's Obituary
Margie Martin Hathaway, 78, of Stanfield, passed away peacefully at her home on June 20, 2025. A service to celebrate her life will be held at a later date in Pitt County, North Carolina.
Born on October 2, 1946, in Pitt County, Margie was the daughter of the late Johnny Martin I and Louise Ramsey Martin Wilson. A devoted homemaker, Margie poured her heart into raising her family and caring for others. Her loved ones remember her as caring, intelligent, strong-willed, and deeply dedicated to those she loved. She was known for her generous spirit and unwavering willingness to make sacrifices for her family.
Margie had a passion for reading and a deep interest in genealogy and history. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and she took great pride in being a caregiver to those in need.
She was preceded in death by her husband of many years, Marvin Earl Hathaway, in 2016, and by her brother, Johnny Martin II.
Margie is survived by her three sons: Marvin Todd Hathaway and wife Jodey of Dickinson, TX; Timothy Macklin Hathaway and wife Bridget of Red Oak, NC; and Terence Martin Hathaway and wife Amanda of Stanfield, NC; and daughter in-law Maggan Hathaway of Greenville, NC.
