Margaret Sawyer Trent Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

On Monday, May 8, 2022, Margaret Sawyer Trent passed away at the age of 95. She was born in Lowland, Tennessee on February 3, 1927. She was the daughter of R.P. and Pearl Sawyer. She went to school in Lowland and took pride in the fact that she read every book in the library. She married George Ernest (Ted) Trent on September 1, 1953. Margaret and Ted had one son, Morry Trent, a daughter-in-law Mickey (Ward) Trent and two grandsons, Griffin Ward Trent and Gavin Mills Trent. Margaret was preceded in death by sisters Polly Noe, Edith Carpenter, Mary Ruth Pendleton, Carolyn Jones, Marie Gaddis, Virginia Erwin, and brother, Josh Sawyer. She is survived by brothers RP Sawyer, Jr. and Harvey Sawyer and sister Betty Sawyer along with several nieces and nephews. Meemaw, as she was known since 1990, had a quiet presence but she loved being surrounded by people, especially her family. She had a tight bond with her siblings, and they all had regular parties and get-togethers throughout the years. She loved music and supported her son’s music as he played in local bands in the area. Margaret will be cremated and her remains will be interred in a private ceremony at Jernigan Cemetery alongside her husband and other family members. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
