Obituary

Margaret J. “Margie” Binford was born May 4, 1934, in Dallas, Texas. She married Bill on October 10, 1953 and moved to Farmers Branch in 1955. They were active members of Christ United Methodist Church in Farmers Branch for over 60 years. Margie was preceded in death by Bill, her husband of 69 years, and leaves behind two sisters, Gloria and Jeannie, a daughter and son in law, Pam and Ken Sumrow of Plano, a son and daughter in law Jeff and Pam Binford of Farmers Branch, five grandchildren and their spouses: Christy Byerly, Will and Alison Binford, Clint Sumrow, Lauren and Bobby Frey and Katie and Blair Casey; along with nine great-grandchildren: Weston, Addy, Jack, Justin, Emma, Grayson, Ellie, Ava and Cora, with another granddaughter due to arrive in January.

Margie worked as a secretary at the church for many years before working at Farmers Branch Elementary. After her retirement, she worked with the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau, The Cotton Bowl and volunteered with the Farmers Branch Visitors Bureau.

Margie and Bill were always active in their community. They were members of the Farmers Branch Jaycees, and served on most, if not all boards at Christ United Methodist Church at one time or another. They loved volunteering their time for the community and church, from providing information for visitors to delivering meals on wheels. Together, they enjoyed all social activities and they were known and loved by many.

When not spending time with her great grandchildren, Margie enjoyed golf for many years. She looked forward to the Christmas holidays year-round, and constantly shopped for all her loved ones.

Testimonials

"I highly recommend this funeral home and crematorium; when I had to make and pay for my brother’s arrangements across state lines, Evelyn Montonya, in particular, demonstrated both compassion and professionalism and made a very sad and difficult situation much easier. Many thanks."

"The unexpected passing of my husband was a very difficult and trying time for my boys and I. I had the good fortune of having Abel walk us thru this process. Working with him was such a weight off my shoulders. He was professional, so polite and helpful. The service was beautiful – never did I feel rushed or like just another customer. They gave me the time I needed and I appreciate that so much! Also Mr. Brooks took special care of my husband as he is a fellow mason. I would highly recommend working with Abel and North Dallas Funeral Home."

"Everyone at North Dallas Funeral Home was very professional, kind, and caring, in all steps of the process from the first phone call to the service held at their location. They help to make the process as easy and comforting in my opinion as to be expected, I would recommend their service to anyone. Thank You to everyone who helped me and my family. Sincerely,"

"As soon as the call was made to Mr. Wayne Baxter all of my brothers final needs were taken care of. They walked me through what to expect the timeline and even dealt with the cemetery and the grave diggers. I was a hot mess due to my brothers sudden and unexpected passing. The experience was seamless and made it easy for my brother’s friends and family to say their last goodbyes. They even had the size to accommodate such a large group that showed up . The package deals that they offered were cost-effective and didn’t break my bank account. They included extras and accommodations that other funeral homes charged extra for. All the staff was amazing including Mr. Don Dodd . I can not thank them enough for all their help."

Dear John,

It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Thank you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you.

Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad.

Love, The Gillilands
