She was born August 21, 1923 in Gordon, Alabama the daughter of James Curtis Dunaway,Sr. and Jessie Shiver Dunaway. Margaret had an exemplary work ethic beginning when she did laundry for families and picked cotton as a child.

She kept books for Casey's Grocery, worked in Medical Records at Lakeside Hospital and Baptist Medical Center in Montgomery, Alabama and retired from the U.S. Postal Service at age 77. The thing she would most like told about her life is that she loved the Lord Jesus Christ with all her heart and gave the message of salvation to all she came in contact with. She was a member for more than sixty five years of Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church. She is predeceased by her first husband, Lyman Lester Wright, her second husband Reverend John Wesley, brothers Thomas, James Curtis and Samuel Harrison Dunaway and sisters, Allie Evans and Belita Gail Waliser.
