Margaret Elizabeth Shrieves, lived life to fullest
Margaret (Margie) Elizabeth Shrieves, 89, passed away peacefully Saturday, Aug. 26, 2023, at home in Georgetown. She was born Sept. 13, 1933, in Baltimore, Md., loving daughter of the late Glenn and Barbara Smithson. She is survived by her two sons, John Shrieves of Addison, Texas, and Kevin Shrieves of Lusby, Md.; daughter-in-law, Margo Shrieves; and her granddaughters, Casandra (Casey) Hampton of Houston, Texas, and Emily Shrieves of Lusby; along with several nieces and nephews. Margie was preceded in death by the love of her life, John Brady Shrieves Jr.; her sisters, Barbara Kelley and Phyllis Spencer; and brother, Glenn Smithson.
Margie lived her life to the fullest and was always on the go. She has always immersed herself in every community she has been a part of, loving to be with friends and family. In recent years, Margie spent lots of time with her extended family at Rust’s Sandwich Shop. She also enjoyed arranging luncheons for her friends in the SLICE exercise group at CHEER Center. Margie was a skilled artist who painted, sketched, and hand-carved waterfowl and birds. Throughout her whole life, Margie was devoted to her Catholic faith and was an active part of her church community.
Above all else, Margie will be remembered for her caring heart, unwavering faith, and her ability to always speak her mind. She was true to herself, her family and her faith. She did it her way.
