Her daughters want to give a very special thank you to their Aunt Margaret for sharing a very wonderful 17 years with their mother, their stint as the Baldwin Sisters, and her tender, loving care during the last year of her life. Theirs was a very special relationship and we so appreciate that. During that time the two of them traveled extensively to see their large family, went to weddings, births, anniversaries, reunions, funerals and just to be getting together with family. They traveled with their siblings all over the country to places like Jackson Hole, Branson, the Black Hills, and any other site anyone could imagine a trip to. They shared a special bond as sisters. The family would like to thank Hospice of Acadiana and a very special thank you to Hospice nurse Donna Vidrine. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made in the name of Mary Jennings to Hospice of Acadiana. Personal condolences may be sent to the family at www.delhommefuneralhome.com.
