      OBITUARY

      "Margaret Yow Bryan died Sunday, March 28, 2004, after battling pneumonia.

      A memorial service is planned for 10 a.m. Friday in Greensboro at Friends Home at Guilford. A graveside service is planned for 5 p.m. Friday at the Ahoskie Cemetery in Ahoskie.

      Born on Aug. 6, 1906, in Greensboro, she delighted in living life as fully as possible. She was very active in the PTA, holding state offices. Through her efforts, the first PTA on the Outer Banks at Ocracoke was started. She was an enthusiastic duplicate bridge player, attaining life master status and went on several tournament cruises with Charles Goren. In her mid-years, she became an avid golfer, was Club Ladies Champion for several years and scored a total of three holes-in-one.

      After her children went off to college, she returned to school and graduated with a bachelors degree from Chowan Community College when in her 60s. She, like her mother, traveled as often as possible, both in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. After her husband, William died, she led tours of Israel and the Biblical lands for several years. She also went on one of the first ecotours ever offered to Antarctica with Lynblad Expeditions, the oldest person on board.

      She spent several years in Florida and enjoyed serving as a volunteer at various parks and historical sites. A particular favorite was her volunteer work at the home site of author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

      She had three sons, all Eagle Scouts, Robert Samuel Bryan, William Melton Bryan and Floyd Talmadge Bryan; five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She is survived by one son, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren."
