To Margaret's Family

Margaret Rose and Roger visited my family every summer in Richmond when we were growing up and we always had a wonderful time. Margaret and I were the same age and loved to play "dress up" and "movie stars" and put on shows for family to watch. I am sorry we lost touch over the years and that I did not know her children. I am sure she will be missed by all who loved her. God bless all of you.

Love
Bettye Bruner Duggan

Margaret Rose (Cross) Wensil 25 September 1939 to 7 June 2011

Margaret Wensil passed from this life to the next on June 7, 2011. Margaret Rose Cross was born to Evelyn Grace (Shealy) Cross and Edward James Cross on September 25th 1939 in Washington DC. She lived with her parents and younger Brother Roger in Washington DC as a child and later in Northern Virginia with Roger, her Mother, Stepfather George Vial and Half Sisters, Juanita (Vial) Diggs, Marlys (Vial) Howard, Jean (Vial) Ware and Half Brother George P. Vial.

As a child in DC she modeled Holiday Clothes along with her Brother Roger in the Washington Post Newspaper. As she grew older she became a fan of clothes, music and movies and enjoyed these throughout her life. As a Teen in the Manassas area she attended Osbourn High School. In the mid nineteen fifties she spent summers modeling in her bathing suit at the Lake Jackson Boat Mart to attract potential customers driving down Rte. 234. On the weekends Daddy George, as she called him, would drive her to the trailways bus station so she could go to Washington DC to visit her Father Eddie. During her visits she would attend movies and shows and became a lover of Calypso music and dance, like Harry Belafonte with his hit: Mama Look at Bubu. She had a voluptuous figure and at a live Calypso show she was brought on stage to dance with the band and that day became one of her happiest memories. She also made appearances on the Milt Grant Show, a Washington, DC teen dance party program aired on WTTG from 1956 to 1961. When she came home on Sunday she would always bake a big chocolate layer cake for the family and it became a main stay for family gatherings for years to come.

In the early nineteen sixties she met and married Wilbert Jackson Wensil “Droops”, the love of her life and together they had four beautiful Daughters Beverly, Lana, Laura and Sheila. While Droops worked and collected “treasures” from yard sales and junk yards she raised the children and tanned in the sun. She continued her love of music and classic movies of which she new every star and what they did on and off the screen including super stars like Liz Taylor, Cary Grant. She loved to have company and would entertain her girlfriends with finger sandwiches, cake and a little dance from the early days. She had a great since of humor and the gift of gab so visiting with friends and family was a favorite pass time. Children loved to visit the Wensil’s because there was never a shortage of popsicles, doughnuts and candy. I never remember her saying; no to a child, she just let them run, play and enjoy life.

As the years passed the girls left home and Margaret and Droops continued their life together. Droops developed cancer and fought it bravely for many years. Sadly in 1997 their Daughter Lana died and then Droops followed in 2000. Margaret moved to a one bedroom apartment still enjoying the company of neighbors and family. For the next ten years she looked forward to celebrating her birthday with her Mother Evelyn and her Sisters watching a movie and enjoying Chinese food. She loved her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren and sometimes talked for hours with her Granddaughters on the phone. She enjoyed watching Cooking Shows, American Idle and Dancing with the Stars. She loved Italian food, Chinese and seafood especially steamed hard shell crabs. Margaret never drove a car so depended on others for shopping and outings she loved to go to “Family Dollar Store” to seek out bargains. At home she would sit by the window watching the world go by and dreaming of going to London and Ireland, a long time wish that she spoke of often.

The last few years Margaret was a victim of poor health but she never lost her since of humor or her love to chat. She will be missed by all and remembered with love.

Surviving are Daughter Beverly Wensil of Manassas and Grandchildren Michael, Andy, Jose, Enrique and Anna, Grandchildren (Children of Lana) Jennifer, Sherry, Crystal, Christine, Robert & Danny, Daughter Laura Wensil and Gran

in honor of Margaret.

I remember Margaret Rose coming to visit Aunt Inez in Richmond and the whole family would get together. Somehow I always managed to be there to "play" with Bettye (mind you I was 4 years younger. Margaret Rose and Roger were fascinating because they were my "Yankee" cousins, as seen from a Richmond perspective. It was always exciting when Uncle George and his family visited and a special treat when Margaret Rose and Roger stayed for an extended visit.

My husband, Ron, and I extend our deepest sympathy to family and friends. May fond memories ease your loss.
