Margrette Bunner

With heavy hearts and cherished memories, we announce the peaceful passing of Margrette Bunner, who went to be with the Lord on April 28, 2026, at the age of 87. Born on February 7, 1939, in the close-knit community of Parkersburg, West Virginia, Margrette lived a full and vibrant life, leaving an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to have known her. Margrette was a beacon of creativity and warmth, whose passion for the beauty of nature was evident in her 20-year career at the local flower shop, where she delighted in crafting and designing exquisite floral arrangements. Her artistry brought joy to countless weddings, celebrations, and special occasions throughout the years, and her work was a testament to her innate ability to find and accentuate beauty in every corner of life. In her personal life, Margrette was a devoted wife to her beloved husband, Donald, and a nurturing mother to her two sons, Mike and Jim Buck. Her family was her greatest joy, and her legacy lives on through her six grandchildren—Ashley Higgins, Brian Buck, Emily Mathews, Trisha Jones, Jimmie Buck, and Sara Buck—and her twelve great-grandchildren, each of whom carries forward a piece of her spirit and love. Though Margrette faced the challenge of dementia in her later years, she embraced life fully and with grace. Her gentle spirit never waned, and she remained a source of inspiration and strength to her family and friends. Margrette's laughter, kindness, and unwavering faith will forever echo in the hearts of those she leaves behind. A celebration of Margrette's life will be held on May 7, 2026, at 2:00 PM at Rockland Cemetery in Parkersburg, WV. Friends and family are invited to join in honoring her memory and sharing stories of the remarkable woman she was. This gathering will be a reflection of the love and light she brought into the world. As we say goodbye, we carry forward Margrette's legacy of love, creativity, and faith. Her family holds her close in their hearts with the special message: "She has passed to be with the Lord, but she will forever be in our hearts." Margrette Bunner's life was a testament to love, resilience, and the beauty of the simple pleasures. She leaves behind a world that is brighter for her having been in it, and her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
