Margaret Benton

Margaret Benton, daughter of Guy and Florene James, was born October 6, 1947. Margaret went home to her Lord and Savior, Monday, February 24, 2020. After years of battling COPD, she passed away peacefully at her home in Rutledge, Georgia. Family meant everything to Margaret. She was a caregiver who always put the needs of others before her own. Those that knew her best would describe her as gentle, kind, and generous. Margaret will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Lisa DeLong; parents, Luther Guy and Grace Florene (Streetman) James; brother, Benjamin James, and sister, Millie Morris.

Left to remember Margaret with love and admiration is her son and daughter-in-law, Steve and Jan Pruitt; grandchildren and their spouses, Hailey and Josh Mellott, Samantha and Cody Faircloth, Leah Pruitt, Allen DeLong; as well as sisters, Eva Barrentine, Debbie Ethridge, Jeanett Morris.
