Margo Cummings Coker was born February 9, 1952, in Memphis, Tennessee to Johnnie and Hattie Cummings.
She was a graduate of Lorain High School in Lorain, Ohio. She attended University of Akron for her undergraduate studies and received her Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling at Kent State University.
Margo worked as a counselor for Bureau Vocational Rehabilitation and retired after 30 years of service.
Her spiritual life began at an early age. She was an active member and deaconess at the Second Baptist Church under the leadership of Dr. Roderick Pounds. She was also an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated since 1972.
After retiring, Margo traveled extensively throughout the country and beyond. She loved gardening, decorating, shopping and walking her beloved dog “Killer”.
Margo was affectionately known as “Sugar Momma” by her family and was a very caring, generous and giving person.
Margo was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Johnnie Cummings, Jr. and Herman Cummings.
She leaves to cherish her memory, her sisters; Rosie Love of St. Louis, MO, Shirley Elem, Alice Townsend, both of Memphis, TN, Gloria Cummings Jones (Ralph) of Cleveland, OH, Alma Braggs of Malvern, AK, brother; Sherman Cummings of Sacramento, CA, and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends to mourn her passing.
The family wishes to thank everyone who sent cards, flowers, and extended their love to our family.
Life is just a stepping stone A pause before we make it home A simple place to rest and be Until we reach eternity Everyone has a life journey A path to take with lots to see God guides our steps along the way But we were never meant to stay Our final destination is a place Filled with love, His majesty and grace Today we celebrate the life of our love one, Margo Who has gone before us the race she has won Her journey has now ended Her spirit has ascended claiming the great reward With Jesus our Lord.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of my dear Sorority Sister Margo. She spent several years encouraging me to become active again and I am so glad I did. It gave us an opportunity to spend some quality time together at our 2019 Regional Conference. In earlier years, we lived on the same dorm floor at The University of Akron. I will miss my dear Sister Margo here on earth but I know that we will one day reunite. My prayers are with all of you.

Ms. Margo was one of my moms closest friend! She's known me since I was a little girl and I remember all of the fun times we had at her house back in the day. She was a great person and will be truly missed. May she rest in paradise!

My dear friend, I will truly miss you, your winning smile, our regular conversations, our shopping etc. I worked with Margo for over 30 years where I saw her kind and generous ways as she served as a Voc. Rehabilitation Counselor helping persons with disabilities. You have been a sincere friend. I wish to extend condolences to her family and especially her sister Gloria (Ralph). Margo you have earned your angel wings. Rest in Heaven my friend.

She was kind, soft spoken, a conversation with her always made you feel better. She was generous with her time and never judgemental. She chose the perfect path as a rehabilitation counselor for the disabled, be it learning or physical. Her smile will be missed by many who knew her. God rest her soul.
