Margaret DuPré Lavender went to be with the Lord peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on the morning of Saturday, September 19, 2026.

Margaret worked alongside her husband, Dave, in their land surveying business, Lavender and Smith Associates. Together, they shared not only life and family, but also many years working side by side in the business.

Margaret had a deep love for nature and the outdoors. She especially enjoyed working in her garden and taking trips to the mountains. She appreciated the beauty and peacefulness of her surroundings.

Her faith was an important part of her life, and she was a member of St. Mark Methodist Church.

Above all, Margaret was devoted to her family. She shared 56 wonderful years of marriage with her loving husband, David “Dave” Richard Lavender. She was a devoted to mother, Katherine Wiggins (Michael); grandmother: Anthony and Eric Wiggins, sister, Greer D. Giegerich. She also leaves behind extended family who will cherish her memory.

A graveside service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 24, 2026, at Greenlawn Memorial Gardens, conducted by Rev. Brandon Malone of Morningside Baptist Church.

Margaret will be remembered for her strong faith, her devotion to her family.
