September 12, 1937 - October 14, 2026
Margaret Johnson Hough, 89, of Siler City, died peacefully on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at Cambridge Hills in Pittsboro.
Born September 12, 1937, to Eulas and Lillie Johnson, she grew up in Siler City alongside her nine brothers and sisters. Her life was rooted in faith, family, hard work, and a generous heart. A lifelong member of Siler City Pentecostal Holiness Church, now The Journey Church, Margaret found comfort, strength, and joy in reading God's Word.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Eulas and Lillie Johnson; her husband, Floyd Hough; her brothers, Herman Johnson, Rexford Johnson, Herbert Johnson, Roland Johnson, and Paul Johnson; and her sisters, Ruby Abee, Magdalene Gaines, and June Carol Easter.
She is survived by her sons, William "Bill" Brower and his wife, Catherine, of Dawsonville, Georgia, and Craig Brower and his wife, Kendra, of Silk Hope, North Carolina; her stepdaughters, Mary H. Buchanan and her husband, Gary, and Colleen H. Avery and her husband, Don, all of Morganton, North Carolina; her grandchildren, Allen, Carolyn, Kayla (Elliott), Zack, and Forrest (Morgan); her great-grandchildren, Daniel, Levi, Asher, and Lucy; and her sister, Doris Tallent and her husband, Rev. James Tallent.
The family will receive friends from 1:45 to 2:45 p.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at The Journey Church, 17475 US Highway 64, Siler City, NC 27344. A celebration of life will follow at 3 p.m., with Pastor Jerry Foley officiating. Burial will follow at Oakwood Cemetery in Siler City.
