Margaret Mae (Lucas) Cavin passed away Thursday, November 22, 2018, at St. Katherine Drexel Assisted Living in El Reno. She came to St. Katherine's in 2013 after living in her home in El Reno for 72 years after moving from Kansas with her husband and two children. Margaret was born in Nashville, Kansas on December 5, 1919, to Ernest and Grace Lucas. Her father was a farmer and her Mother was a homemaker. While in high school she excelled at playing basketball and continued her love for the game while watching the Oklahoma City Thunder. After she graduated high school she began working as a telephone operator in Nashville. She met her future husband, Harold Newton (Newt) Cavin while working part time as a waitress in a local cafe operated by the owners of the telephone company. Harold and Margaret were married on March 27, 1940, and they were married for 65 years prior to Newt's death in 2005. Harold was drafted into the Army in December 1944 and returned in 1946, at which time they moved to El Reno where he learned the auto body repair trade and eventually had a wrecker service also. Margaret was a avid homemaker and relaxed by working in her vegetable garden and beautiful flower beds. While her two daughters were in high school, she made numerous trips with the choirs and band to music contests as a chaperone. She loved making these trips with the kids. One of the greatest joys of her life was listening to the girls play the piano. She would later join Harold in the business office where she worked as a secretary/bookkeeper and wrecker dispatcher until they retired in 2004. Margaret loved seeing the wreckers and would often join Harold in driving out to watch the wreckers work on accident scenes. Margaret was a faithful member of Bible Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School for many years. Margaret was preceded in death by her parents, one brother Dean Lucas, son-in-law Kenneth Singleton, and a brother-in-law Ellis Hostmeyer.
