Margo T. Huffman Estep was born February 14, 1947 in Menominee, Michigan to Ann Huffman and the late James Huffman.  She was a graduate of Menominee High School and attended beauty school in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  She left his earthly world September 11, 2018 to be with her Heavenly Father after battling nearly 4 years of stage 4 colon cancer.  She was a resident of Melissa, Texas at the time of her passing.
Margo met Bill Estep in 1971.  She was in a bowling league at the local bowling alley when Bill, who was on a business trip, happened to walk in. As their eyes met across the room, she would always say, "It was love at first sight."  She married the love of her life on February 26, 1972 in Jackson, Mississippi and enjoyed 46 years of marital bliss.  She became an instant Mom to her step-son, Michael D. Estep, and shortly after, she and Bill had one daughter, Candace Michelle Estep Simmons.  During this time she owned he own beauty shop in Jackson, Mississippi and the family enjoyed horse showing.  In 1975 the family moved to Howe, Texas and became business owners to a small welding supply company.  Together they built their business from one declining location to 3 companies with a total of 5 locations, Industrial Welding Products in Sherman, Texas and Atoka and Madill, Oklahoma; Grand Oxygen in Paris, Texas; and Wichita Welders Supply in Wichita Falls, Texas.  Together they worked and built the companies into prosperous businesses and sold to Airgas, Inc. in 1995.  Shortly after the sale, they began traveling the U.S. in their motor coach, traveling about 6 months each year for the next 20 years.  Along these journeys, they met many friends and shared fond memories.  Margo became "Maw Maw" in 1991 to Devin "Gator" Lynn Hargrove.  And in 2016 she became a great Maw Maw to Easton "Scooter" Lane Hargrove.
Margo was an active member at First Melissa Church in Melissa, Texas.  She enjoyed participating in activities with her Sunday School Class and helped start the Hope Cancer Comfort Ministry group.  She also helped with the Melissa Food Pantry until her health declined.  In her spare time she enjoyed making jewelry; her specialty was beading bracelets.  Her jewelry was spectacular, but she rarely sold pieces.  She would make a necklace or a bracelet, then give it to people, friends, family and anyone who made an impact on her.  It was her way of saying "thank you" to those she loved.
Margo was known as a loving, caring, nurturing, friendly Christian woman with a sense of style and known for her beautiful unique hair.  She was best known for the best potato salad, dill pickles and homemade ice cream.  She enjoyed being outdoors and working in her flower beds and vegetable garden.  She enjoyed traveling through the years, but one of her favorite things was spending time with her family and especially her grandson and great-grandson.
Margo is survived by her husband of Melissa; step-son, Michael Estep of Austin, Texas; daughter, Candice Simmons and husband, Jeff, of Melissa; mother, Anne Huffman of Menominee, Michigan; sisters, Judy Semrau and Gloria Huffman, both of Menominee, Michigan; brother, John Huffman and wife, Mary, of Menominee, Michigan; grandson, Devin Hargrove and wife, Brittany, of Sherman, Texas; great-grandson, Easton Hargrove; several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
