(Oct. 20, 1918 – Feb. 4, 2012)
My Mother’s obituary can be found, here.
My mother, Margaret Morgensen Owen, was my most significant musical influence. Music was only one of the many facets of her life that touched and enriched mine. Her role in my life and the lives of hundreds, if not thousands of others, was indescribably rich. I shall use this blog to periodically share memorial and anecdotal reflections concerning my Mother’s role in my life and music.
I sincerely encourage you, the reader of this, whose life was touched by Margaret Morgensen Owen, to reply (with stories, if possible) via the comment-form, below.
I know your Mom is smiling down upon you on this special day – December 14, 2012.
Happy Day of the Birth Variety!!!!!!!
Having personally known Margaret Owen for over forty years I can sum it up with one sentence: She was a Gooden!
Your mother looks so beautiful in the picture…She will live on through you, Cathy, and your siblings…She must have been a wonderful person, because I know what a wonderful person you are..I am sure was well loved by all her family, extended family and friends..It’s a great feeling to know that we are being watched over by our moms in heaven…I know not a day will go by without you thinking of her..We can only pray that one day we will see our mother’s again in heaven with our Glorious Father…
Thank you, Morris, for sharing this. May we honor her legacy, as we all press on until the glorious day we can all be together eternally.
We were so lucky to have had her as our mother! The imbuement of her spirit of creativity lives on!!!
