Margie Watts Green passed away peacefully July 30, 2016, at Sunnybrook Assisted Living in Hendersonville, NC. surrounded by her family and after a long and meaningful life.
Born in Shreveport, La., August 5, 1921, Margie was preceded in death by her husband, R. Don Green, and a young son, Donnie Jr. She was the daughter of the late Cora Moore and Jay Daniel Watts, and younger sister of Edith Watts DeBroeck, Loy Hinton Watts, Faye Watts DeBroeck and J.D. Watts Jr.
Margie moved to New Orleans in 1966, and after a few years became a valued employee in the corporate offices of J. Ray McDermott, until her retirement in 1994. Margie took pride in everything she did, and was meticulous and considerate in all her responsibilities in both public and family life.
As a young woman she was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Shreveport, and on moving to New Orleans, her spiritual home became Oak Park Baptist.
