Margaret Himes, age 90, of Joppa, Maryland, passed away on January 15, 2024. She was born in Pembroke, North Carolina, to the late Robert and Flavie (Seals) Smith and was the loving wife of the late John Howard Himes. Margaret was a devoted member of Emmorton Baptist Church for 30 years. She was also actively involved in the Garden Club in Joppatowne and the Baltimore American Indian Center in Fells Point.

She was skilled in sewing, quilting and macramé. Margaret had an enormous love for children, starting an at-home daycare center and volunteering at the church nursery.
