Margaret Beane
A memorial service for Margaret Beane, 83, West Plains, Missouri, will be held from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 Noon, Monday, August 18, 2025, in the Rose Chapel at Robertson-Drago Funeral Home.
Mrs. Beane passed away peacefully Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at her home.
She was born April 30, 1942, in Deming, New Mexico. Margaret was one of eleven children. She was a graduate of West Plains High School in West Plains, Missouri, and later earned her registered nursing degree at SMSU. She married Collett Beane of West Virginia and had four children while traveling with her husband during his time in the Armed Forces. After his retirement from the military the family settled back in West Plains to raise their family. Margaret worked for Marathon Electric for many years before deciding to pursue her lifelong dream of nursing at the age of 50. She remained in nursing for many years working until she was 80 years old. Marge had many loves besides nursing. She was a lady of many talents and hobbies. She loved painting, ceramics, sewing, gardening, searching for arrowheads, and being a Grandma! If you knew her, her children or her grandchildren then you probably have one of her Christmas ornaments hanging from your tree. She was loved by all who knew her and will be deeply missed! To know Marge was to love her. She was definitely one of a kind!
She is survived by her four children, Sherri Wood of Longview, Texas, Randy and Kelly Beane of Oxford, Alabama, Michael Beane of West Plains, Missouri and Robbie and Katie Beane of St. Louis Missouri; five grandsons Blake and Kellee Beane of Burleson, Texas, Jeremiah and Grace Comstock of Midlothian, Texas, Joshua Comstock of West Plains, Missouri, Dakota and Taylor Beane of Oxford, Alabama and Jordan Beane and Macy Mitchell of Oxford Alabama; seven great-grandchildren, Xara and Lorcan Comstock, Raynee and Bodie Beane, Baylor Beane, Nora and Addie Beane and Caleb Beane; two sisters, Linda Andrews and Lynette Saunders; one brother, Melvin Marcak; and many nieces and nephews.
Margaret was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Marcak and Louise Frerich, five brothers Robert Marcak, Joe Marcak, Bennie Marcak, George Marcak and Howard Marcak, and two sisters, Helen Perkins and Judy Hudlow.

I’m sorry to hear of Margaret’s passing. She was a classmate of mine at WPHS. She has quite a work history with many years at the hospital where I would see her once on a while. I know she will be missed by so many.

Marge was my auntie. I’m her niece Missy. I live in West Virginia. Margaret was a wonderful woman. She was loving and kind. She loved to pinch your cheeks or your bottom. She loved to hug. She was the last auntie I had on my father’s side of the family. Marge was very crafty. Whenever they would make the trip here to WV, she’d always bring one or two of her hobbies. She’d be painting or sewing. Something else I still remember was how she had beautiful penmanship. She wrote in beautiful cursive writing. I always wanted to write just like her. She was amazing. She raised a great family. And lord knows she’ll surely be missed by all who knew her. If you got the great chance to have met her at least once, I don’t think you could ever forget her. I love you auntie. Wish I was there. Send my love to everyone there.

I am so sorry for your family’s loss. I’ve known Margaret most of my life. I babysitted for her and Linda.
She and my mom, Joyce Henry were very good friends and worked together at the shoe factory, and were known to pull shenanigans.
She always had a smile and a big hug for me whenever I would see her.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Love, Renee

I just learned of your passing and my heart is heavy with the news, you were always so kind and generous. when we worked together you would always let me know how much you believed in me and ultimately help with making up weather or not, I would take the dietary director job not only just because you believed in me but because you felt I would listen to the elders and really put them in the center of my focus and I hope I have not let you down, fly high sweet angel, and rest in paradise. xoxoxoxo Christine Hale

I’m so sorry I missed her celebration of life. Marge was one of the best people I’ve ever met and she spoiled us on the night shift with food and lots of laughter. Rest well my friend.
