As a baby less than one year old, Margaret accompanied
her family to northeastern Brazil where her parents spent
25 years as Southern Baptist missionaries. Margaret was

of her public school age, and she was fluent in both
English and Portuguese. Margaret stayed in Brazil until

and completed her public education at San Marcos Baptist
Academy in San Marcos, Texas, while her parents continued
serving the Lord as missionaries in Brazil. After

meeting the love of her life, David Daniel Tiner, also an
educator. They married in Waco on August 20, 1949.

she spent 9 years teaching Spanish and art in Temple,
Texas and 18 years teaching 4th grade in Crane. Margaret
was a third generation teacher, and she, her mother and
her maternal grandmother all graduated from Baylor with
public school teaching degrees.
Margaret had great faith in the Lord and loved her church
in Crane. She also enjoyed playing the piano, traveling

pictures of friends and loved ones, square dancing,
quilting, playing dominoes and spending time with her
grandchildren. Margaret was a loving and gentle person
