Margaret A. Mason of Warsaw, Indiana went home to be with her Lord at 3:17 p.m. on Monday, June 14, 2021 at her residence at the age of 95.

She was born on June 26, 1925 in Fort Wayne, Indiana to Geneva M. (Moore) Lord and George B. Lord.  Margaret graduated from Northside High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1943.  She was a 1947 graduate of Bob Jones University earning her degree in elementary education.  At the young age of 21 she was married on June 22, 1947 in Fort Wayne to Dr. Harold Albert Mason.  They raised six children together, traveled the world, experienced the joy of becoming grandparents all throughout their 54 years of marriage before he passed away on September 11, 2001.

Margaret and Harold shared a calling to love God through using their talents and compassion to serve those in need as medical missionaries for many years in the Central African Republic.  She and her husband made their move back home to Indiana and have lived in Kosciusko County for the past 30 years.  Margaret LOVED the Lord, and attended Lakeland Grace Brethren Church in Warsaw where she was always actively involved in various capacities and immensely enjoyed working with children.  Margaret was loving, sincere, and kind in all her ways, a heart for service and a never-ending love for her family.  Margaret LIVED a wonderous 95 years on her earthly home and has finally been rewarded with her eternal journey with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
