Mary Margaret

Hi! I’m Mary Margaret Emery. Both my husband and I are native Texans. We were both born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas.

I was married to my husband, Charlie Emery, for 51+ years. Charlie and I met on a blind date, and we married 3 months later, after Hurricane Celia destroyed Corpus Christi and all the plans and venues we had secured. He was a Professional PGA golfer. I hadn’t ever seen a golf course in person! He taught me so much! We traveled with the mini tour around Arizona and New Mexico, where he won money for us to eventually buy 2 different resort golf shops and golf carts in the Hill Country of Texas. We worked together running those shops while he gave golf lessons, sold golf merchandise, and made so many friends!

Charlie was finally convinced to work for someone who wanted him to run a golf cart company in Florida. We lived in Boca Raton, Florida for 6 years ( pure Paradise!). By that time we were a family of 4: a son and a daughter! Life was so good! But everything came to and end and we parted ways with the owner and moved back to Texas and Charlie went to work with Club Car, where he won Salesman of the Year twice! He was known as Club Car Charlie. By that time we were in the DFW. I joined the Southlake Chamber of Commerce. I organized a Run to raise money for many charities. I also helped organize and raise money for a park in Grapevine for disabled children

My Charlie died Feb 18, 2022 from heart disease and related complications. He left me a Love Letter ( if you will), a red notebook with all the passwords, Account Numbers, phone numbers of the representatives he worked with. He left me a guide for everything I’d need if he died before me!

He was a wonderful man and husband! He made me laugh everyday. In 2004, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and Charlie took me to all 12 of my chemo treatments. He took such great care of me! I called him My Knight in Shining Armor!

During that time, I worked in Sales for a Respiratory Company, taking care of patients who needed Home oxygen, enteral nutrition and Home ventilators, and stayed with that company for 20 years.

I have a home in Grapevine Texas. We have 5 beautiful grandchildren! I have a skincare company that I represent and sell the products through. I enjoy working in my yard and potted plants, taking walks in the park or just around my neighborhood, antiquing, decorating my home and helping friends with decorating tasks. I love getting together with friends and having lunch and shopping. I love listening to music, dancing, and reading!

My circles of friends are many! I’m beyond blessed! And now I have my Wisters! I have a giving heart for these widows. We share something we wish we didn’t!
