Margaret Mayers Litschert passed peacefully on April 29, 2022, at her home in Grassy Creek on her 93rd birthday. She was surrounded by her family and angels. Margaret was affectionally known as Peggy, Aunt Peggy, or Mimi. She was a joy to those who knew her. Peggy devoted her life to her husband, John, and her four children. She was an active member of the Episcopal Church and was the first female vestry member of St. Christopher's in Charlotte. She was a beloved Sunday School teacher as well and for many years directed the Christmas Eve pageant. She was a very active member of St Mary's Episcopal Church in Beaver Creek, NC, where she counseled many and often took Holy Communion to "shut-ins." She was also a member of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Oxford, MD, for her entire life and loved helping out any way she could. Peggy was a member of the Charlotte Chapter of Eastern Star and officiated as the Chaplain for many years. She was a non-stop "Pink Lady" volunteer at Charlotte Presbyterian Hospital as well as a consistent and tireless blood donor. Peggy volunteered for Hospice and was also a proud member of the Oxford Maryland Ladies Auxiliary where she had many friends and loved working on all the projects. No dust settled on Peggy's feet. She is preceded in death by her husband, John H. Litschert; a granddaughter, Missy Miner; a son, David Litschert; a daughter, Megan Litschert; and two brothers, William Mayers and Fred Mayers.
