Margaret Faye McCant, 75, of Excelsior Springs, Mo., passed away peacefully January 12, 2021 surrounded by loved ones in Independence, Mo. Margaret was a former resident of Excelsior Springs, Mo.

Margaret was born June 15, 1945 to Josephine McCant (Mother) and Alonso McCant (Father). She attended school at 301 East Kansas Street, Excelsior Springs, Mo., which they called the School House. Margaret worked at Excelsior Springs Hospital in action mailing. She also worked at the Good Samaritan as a secretary. She attended Jesus Is A Rock Pentecostal Church in Excelsior Springs, Mo.

She loved her family and enjoyed holiday dinners with them.
