Mrs Margaret Lee Glass' Obituary
Mrs. Margaret Lee Glass passed away quietly in her home at 10:30 PM on November 13, 2019. Now, she is rejoicing in the presence of her Lord without the limitations her earthly body had endured for many years. She was born on August 1, 1922 in Columbus, Georgia, the second of seven children born to Charlie W. and Ruby Culbreth. She grew up in a farming family in Ashford, Alabama and married Alto Sandlin Glass, whose family had an adjoining farm. Alto and Margaret were married for 62 years. They had two children, Glenda Gail and James Alton. In 1950, Alto and Margaret arrived in Plymouth, Florida on a bus with a five-year old, a suitcase and five dollars. They made their home in Plymouth, living there together until Alto's death in 2002. Margaret continued there alone until 2010 when she moved into her son's home in Eustis, Florida and lived there with his family until her death.
Margaret and Alto were faithful and active members of Plymouth Baptist Church for over 50 years. A cornerstone for both; enjoying the friendship, and healing through various teachings, fellowship and solace that they found there in their church family.
For many years, Margaret was a homemaker, known for her wonderful southern cooking abilities. Eventually, she took a position with Plymouth Citrus Co-op and enjoyed many years there until the plant closed; at which time, she took employment with Mount Dora Packing Company. After that, she worked in the Zellwood Elementary School cafeteria until she retired.
Margaret Glass was predeceased by her daughter, Glenda Prewitt, her brothers, RC Culberth, Charles Culbreth, her sisters, Myrtice Chandler, Merlene Heard and Mary Treadwell. She is survived by her sister, Merle Sanders, her grandson, Richard Prewitt, her son, James A. Glass, her grandchildren, James D. Glass, Jenny E. Owen and John Adam Glass.
