Margaret A. Poucher

ADRIAN – Margaret A. Poucher, 93 of Adrian, died at her home Sunday, August 20, 2023. Margaret was born March 3, 1930, in Sand Creek, Michigan, the daughter of Lewis C. and Mary (Force) Keenan. Margaret’s early days were spent working in the family business, Keenan’s Grocery and Gas, in Sand Creek. After graduating from Sand Creek High School in 1947, she attended Davis Business College in Toledo, Ohio, with her best friend Rose Mary (Hahn) Arnett. They roomed together in a private residence and shared many happy times in addition to their studies. On December 30, 1958, she married Glenn W. Poucher in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He preceded her in death on September 30, 2002. In 1948, Margaret began a life-long career at what was then known as American Chain and Cable Company. She held a variety of office positions. At retirement, she was secretary to the President and General Manager. While at ACCO, Margaret made many lasting friends, two being Ronnie Jackson and Mary Ford of Adrian, sadly both are deceased. Survivors include cousins in Adrian and several others residing in California; nephews, David (Lora) Poucher and George (Janine) Hunter; nieces, Elizabeth Hunter, Mary Paula Hunter and her husband Rich Meckel and Margaret Hunter and her husband Rollie Morse; and a special great-niece, Andrea Hunter, who considered her “grandma”. In addition to her parents and husband, Margaret was preceded in death by her brother, John T. Keenan, on September 30, 1996. Margaret had a great love of animals and her surviving cat, Pawson, will miss her very much. She also enjoyed her Sand Creek barn cats and for years made twice weekly visits with treats, often Bob Evans sausage gravy. They have been and presently are under the loving care of Paul Green. Other pleasures were reading, shopping, and visiting and spending time in the sun at the Devil’s Lake cottage. The reason she could keep her cottage and home were special people, the James brothers. If Chuck or Ken couldn’t fix it, they knew who could. Margaret felt truly blessed to have many caring and supportive friends, including her long-time caregiver, Pete Gippert. It goes without saying the Slusarski Family. Every one of them as well as their employees, were always ready to help and watch out for her. She was a volunteer at Bixby Medical Center for many years, a member of the Croswell Opera House, Lenawee Historical Society, and the Lenawee Humane Society. Graveside services will take place at 11 a.m., Saturday, August 26, 2023, at Fairfield Cemetery with Rev. Larry Betz officiating. Following the graveside services there will be a Celebration of Life dinner at Wagley Funeral Home for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Margaret’s name may be given to the Lenawee Humane Society or to the donor’s choice. Envelopes are available at the funeral home where online condolences and memories may be shared at www.WagleyFuneralHomes.com.
