Margaret “Margie” Lucille Hess Huchton, of Lindsay, Tx, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones on March 17, 2024, at the age of 76.  She was the seventh child of Henry Hess Sr. and Rose Schmidlkofer Hess.

Margie was raised on the family farm, south of Lindsay, and grew up picking cotton and milking the cows day and night.  She vowed that her children would never have to pick cotton or milk cows.  She attended school in Lindsay where she enjoyed basketball, cheerleading, and was the 1964 Homecoming Queen.

Mrs. Huchton married the love of her life, John David Huchton, on September 7, 1968.  The Lord blessed them with 55 years of marriage, six sons, and two daughters.  She was an avid Lindsay Knights fan and enjoyed watching all 8 of her children in their sporting events over the years, along with gardening, bird watching, canning, and spending time with her family and friends.  Her passion was cooking, and she loved cooking for her family, friends, and for the many students that passed through the doors of Lindsay ISD.  Margie was a true believer in her Savior Jesus Christ and was an active member of Saint Peter’s Parish.
