Margaret L. (Bowser) McMillen

Margaret L. (Bowser) McMillen, 85, of Worthington died on Friday July 3, 2020 in ACMH Hospital.  She was born February 9, 1935 in Skinall, PA, a daughter of late Abslom L. & Mary (Smith) Bowser, and stepmother Beulah Bowser.

Margaret worked for 21 1/2 years as a crew leader for Moonlight Mushroom Mines. She then went on to work as a greeter at Walmart for 15 years, where many will remember her as always ready with a kind word and a smile. She cherished her family and showered everyone with love and ensured that no one ever left her house hungry. This extended to her beloved dogs, Jack, Guinness, and Finley, who were similarly showered with pets and treats always. Following the loss of Russell and Russell Jr., her beloved son Rick served as a source of constant light and support throughout her life. Though he would have surmounted any distance for his mother, Rick, his wife Lisa, and his daughter Brenna were fortunate enough to live next door and be able to create a lifetime of memories. If there was one thing that matched her love for her family it was her faith. She was a true woman of God and exemplified her faith through years of devoted fellowship at North Buffalo Grace Brethren Church, her passion for witnessing, and as her neighbors can attest, a love of listening to Gospel music on her front porch.

Left behind to cherish her memory is her son; Rick A. (Lisa) McMillen of Worthington,  Grandchildren: Meigan (Dan) Robb, Luke (Corinne) McMillen, Josh (Amanda) McMillen, Brenna McMillen, Jerra (Chris) Lobozzo, and Tyler John.   Great Grandchildren: Logan & Caleigh Robb, Colin, Conner, Claire, & Carver McMillen, Brandy & Corey Riggle, and Shaylee McMillen.  Also surviving is her sister; Rosie M. (Jerry) Gingrich of York, PA and 2 brothers James K. Bowser & Abslom L. (Susan) Bowser Jr. both of Kittanning. Several nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband of 51 years Russell C. McMillen Sr..  Her son Russell C. McMillen Jr., Daughter in Law; Kathy McMillen Sisters: Mary Barton, Ruth Arlene McMillen and 3 who passed in infancy.

Family and friends of Margaret will be received on Monday July 6, 2020 in the North Buffalo Grace Brethren Church from 10:00am until time of funeral services at 11:00am with Pastor Matt Foreman officiating. Burial will follow in Lawn Haven Burial Estates, Worthington, PA.  The Snyder-Crissman Funeral Home in Kittanning is assisting the family with these arrangements.
