Warren, NH – Margaret Lucille (Gove) Whitcher, 98, of Warren, NH, passed away peacefully in the comfort of her home with her loving family by her side.  She lived a long, full life and was thankful for everything and everyone that was in it.

Margaret was born on March 28, 1925, in Plymouth, NH, to Viola C. (Taylor) and Martin Luther Gove. She was raised in Wentworth, NH and attended school in Plymouth, traveling by train. She graduated at the top of her class in1943. On December 23, 1945, she married Eugene R. Whitcher, and they made their home and family in Warren, spending 67 years together before Eugene passed away on February 21, 2012.

Over her many years, she was an active member of her community and took great pride in her small town, and the groups and organizations she was involved with. She was a devoted member of the Warren United Methodist Church, and attended church service every Sunday she was able. She was a longtime Minerva Temple Pythian Sister, where she proudly served many roles and organized frequent events.  She participated in countless other groups and committees over the years, and was happiest when she was busy helping wherever she was needed.

Margaret's family was very special to her and her most cherished pastimes were spent with them. She remembered every birthday and every anniversary with a card and a small gift.  When she was able, she loved hosting get-togethers and pool parties with family and extended family, all were welcome.  Her memory was sharp as a tack and she shared great stories and interesting bits of history with anyone she visited with.  She enjoyed life to the fullest and took pleasure in the little things- sunny days, good books, shopping trips, dining out, scenic rides, cooking, gardening, and most especially, sweet treats.  She was always grateful for the big things- her loving family, good health and good fortune.

She was predeceased by her husband Eugene R. Whitcher; her parents, Martin and Viola Gove; and her two siblings; Charles T. Gove and Mary (Gove) Bailey.

Margaret will be remembered by her two sons, Randy Whitcher, of Brooksville, FL and Ronald Whitcher and his wife Mary of Warren, NH; three grandchildren, Angela Clifford, Stacey (Troy) Comeau and Chris (Jaime) Whitcher; 8 very special great grandchildren; and several nephews, nieces and cousins.

The family would like to thank her loving and devoted caregivers who became family, and the 'little girl' who brought her so much joy and love in her final years.

There will be a graveside service at the Warren Village Cemetery on Saturday, June 17, 2023, at 1PM, with Melissa Gould as Celebrant.
