Margaret Dean Thompson, of Hollywood, MD passed away on August 21, 2015 at the age of 101 from natural causes. Margaret was born on March 27, 1914 to the late Effie Graves Dean and George Wilson Dean.

Born and raised on Joy Chapel Road, Margaret shared the experiences of her family's farm with siblings, Franklin W. Dean, Mervell M. Dean, Robert G. Dean, Sr., Sheldon M. Dean, Sterling W. Dean, and June D. Fletcher. Upon graduating from the first class of Great Mills High School in 1930, Margaret arrived into a time of much complexity as the Great Depression had begun to take form. Revealing a resilience to withstand and a desire to nurture those in need, she and her husband loaded and drove trucks with goods such as flour and sugar from Baltimore, MD to their property in Hollywood; providing an essential means of supply to their surrounding community.

While raising her family, Margaret supported for many years the St. Mary's County Library by driving the Book Mobile. For over twenty-five years she worked for the Belvedere Motor Inn where she welcomed guests such as the esteemed Blue Angels during their visits to the Naval Air Station Patuxent River.

Margaret enjoyed cooking, gardening, and traveling to Ellicott and Ocean City, MD. Halloween and the opportunity to dress in costume was a true favorite, along with a great love for dogs, especially the Boxer breed.

Margaret was an extraordinary woman, and although her loss is devastating to those who held her so close, we will continue to be inspired by her fostering role, which encompassed so many throughout her lifetime. Her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts.

She is beloved grandmother of Janayth M. Kiger of Hollywood, MD, Kimberly D. Kiley of Frederick, MD, Ronal D. Thompson, Jr. of Hollywood, MD, Christina D. Thompson of Philadelphia, PA, and grandson-in-law Jerry M. Kiger, Jr.; a devoted great-grandmother of Nicole M. Kiley and Kevin M. Kiley; and heroine to daughter-in-laws Mary L. Thompson, Brenda S.
