Opal "Grandmother" Margie Latham, 95, surrounded by her family, met Jesus at 10:15 p.m. on Dec. 15, 2025. She was at Creekwood Nursing and Rehab in Russellville.
"Grandmother" or "Aunt Margie" was born Sunday, Jan. 19, 1930, to Murray and Mary Porter.
She was a very active and faithful member of Dunmor Baptist Church for 76 years. She and her family never missed a service except for sickness or death.
Margie's most important duty was being a homemaker for her husband, Kyle Latham, (more than 50 years) and her four children. She was a fabulous cook, using that talent for years at Lake Malone and Dunmor schools. Also, she was famous for her dumplings, rolls, and fried apple pies. Margie shared food with everyone in the community with a need. Another gift Margie had was sewing. She not only sewed for her family but, help quilt lots of quilts for the Covered in Love Quilt Ministry at Dunmor Baptist Church. Margie carried that "Porter" sense of humor all her life and didn't care to share it with anyone.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Kyle Latham; her daughter, Vickie Martin; six siblings; and her granddaughter, Amanda.
She is survived by her son, Ricky (Jeanette) Latham; her daughters, Lynn (Wayne) Jones and Sheila (Gerald) Heltsley; her grandchildren. Gery (Sonya) Joines, Serena (Jamie) Travis, Billy Latham, Jared (Rosie) Latham, Christy (Shawn) Whitis, Jason (Andera) Martin, Jackie (Brian) Hollis, Darnell (Mike) Fleener; great-grands Drew and Lucas Travis, Elizabeth and Rachael Joines, Kyle (Shari) Latham, Sebastian Martin, Klaidyn, Kylie Tea, Maggie Jo, Victoria, Charlie, and Scarlette Hollis, Drew (Storm) Bratcher; her five great-great-grandchildren; her sister-in-law, Nannie Gardener; special care takers, Gloria and Mike Porter; and several nieces and nephews, who loved her very much.
