Mrs. Margaret Thornburg Griffin, 93, of Grenada, passed away Thursday, December 12, 2024 at Grenada Living Center.  She was born September 12, 1931 in Choctaw County to John Thomas and Clara Bell O'Bryant Thornburg.  Margaret dedicated many years of her life working at Pennaco Hosiery, where she developed deep friendships and a strong work ethic.
