Margaret Elaine Nicholson

God chose to bless us with Margaret Elaine Nicholson. She was affectionately known to many as "Maggie" and "Granny" by all that knew and loved her. Margaret was born to the proud parent of the late William Nicholson Sr. and Ethel Marie Summers on August 22, 1924 in Baltimore, Maryland. God looked around his garden and noticed that a beautiful Rose was missing, so he decided to call her home on July 29, 2025. Margaret was educated in the Baltimore City Public School System. She met her companion the late William H. Speaks (Micky); from that union they welcomed her one and only daughter, Laverne Taylor. Margaret loved the Lord, and was a faithful, devoted member of St. Paul Methodist Church, where she served as, for numerous years, as the Elder "Steward"; serving the Lord in many components. She enjoyed wearing her sparkling white hat, uniform, and gloves. Margaret was immaculate and enjoyed shopping for clothes, cosmetics, and pumps. She, in fact, wore pumps until her late nineties. She made the best potato salad and enjoyed baking cakes; specifically Pound Cake, in addition to chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies, in which she would always give away at Christmas. She was so humorous, kind, yet stern; unselfishly giving and she never failed to give a birthday card or Christmas gift to her grandchildren and friends.She enjoyed babysitting for her grand children and neighbors children She volunteered and took care of her elderly family members and friends. She was the advocate for keeping the neighborhood clean and safe, as she swept the entire block and watched out from her bedroom window. She loved to also watch her favorite stations HSN and Church. Margaret was featured in the "March Funeral Home Calendar" and the Baltimore Times Magazine, as a neighborhood advocate; receiving numerous citations from the U.S. President, State Governor, Mayor, Congressmen, Delegates, St. Paul Methodist Church, and several certicicates from Maryland Centenarians Committee. Margaret's life was ministry of Love, Faith, Care, and Patience. She taught us by example to love unconditionally and lead through her labor of family love and endless friendship. She was our Matriarch, and she always did things "Margaret's Way". Margarets favorite quote was "If youre not going to do it right, dont to it at all."
