Margaret Sue Witten

Margaret Brockwell Witten went home to be with her Savior on April 28, 2012. Her loving family and friends knew Margaret as Magge. Magge was born on July 25, 1943 at the family home in Brockwell, Arkansas. Her early childhood was spent in Brockwell, Arkansas. In the early 1950's Magge's family made a permanent move to the Wenatchee area. As a child she accepted the Lord as her Savior and was baptized in the Columbia River. Magge was a member of the Wenatchee Valley Baptist Church most of her life, and even sang in a gospel quartet as a young adult. Magge's chosen career was in the retail fashion industry. Magge worked in the fashion industry in the Seattle area until the time of her mother's passing, at which time she returned to Wenatchee and joined Macy's as a valued sales associate. Magge won many awards for excellence in sales and customer service; in fact many customers requested her help specifically because of her unfailing knowledge of both product quality and style. In 2010 she retired after being diagnosed with cancer. On January 14, 2002 Magge married Ray Witten and they made their home together in East Wenatchee. Ray and Magge loved to make car trips, especially back to Arkansas, spend time visiting with friends from Waterville. Magge was a member of the Wenatchee Valley Baptist Church. Ray and Magge were both active members in the Applarians until Magge's health forced them to slow down. Magge was an avid cross stitcher who created beautifully intricate pieces of art that were treasured by those lucky enough to receive them. Margaret Witten is survived by her husband Ray, step-daughters Jeanne (Mike) Everhart, Beth (John) Neff, six grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind her brothers John (Penny) Brockwell, Tom (Patricia) Brockwell, nephews Clark Brockwell, Brian (Julie) Brockwell, Justin Brockwell, Doug Brockwell, and Darren (Janna) Goehner, great nieces Karlee and Kassidi Goehner, Michelle Nguyen Brockwell, a great nephew Jacob Brockwell and many cousins. A celebration of Magge's life will take place on May 17th, 11:00am at the Eastmont Baptist Church in East Wenatchee. Memorials may be made to the Oncology unit or Hospice Service at Central Washington Hospital. Condolences and memories for Magge's family can be left at www.HeritageMemorialChapel.com. Arrangements have been entrusted to Heritage Memorial Chapel, East Wenatchee.
