Margaret Mary (Rotter) Tidwell was born on May 19th, 1945, in St. Louis MO and passed away peacefully on December 24th, 2025 surrounded by her family and their love.
Margaret was the cherished daughter of Dr. Julius Charles and Margaret Mary (Furlong) Rotter. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Julius “Buzz” Rotter Jr., and her sister Marie E. Rotter.
She shared a lifetime of love with her devoted husband, Charles W. Tidwell. Together they built a family that was the center of Margaret’s world.
She is survived by her husband, Charles; her brother, Charles (Linda) Rotter; her sons, Eugene Trevor (Fiona) Williams and Charles Michael Troy (Megan) Tidwell; and her daughters, Tricia Silvey, Traery (Frank) Noubarian- Sanders, Tracee (Tim) Tidwell, and Kristine (Scott) Carpenter.
Margaret was immensely proud of her children and grandchildren. She was a proud grandmother to Ryan “Rock” (Stephanie) Williams, Adam “Ace” (Shannon) Williams, Brandon “Beamer” Williams and their mother Evelyn; Andrew Noubarian, Abbygale (Nathan) Stafford, Adam Noubarian, Aiden Sanders, Ryan “RyRy” (Alison) Roulston, Sarah (Chris) Payeur, Eric Long, Danielle Long, Jonothon Sanders, Heaven Whitlock and Levi (Tiffany) Sanders and a loving great-grandmother to Traery, Karter, Josey, Oliver, Rory, Harper, Georgianna, Henry, Wrenley, Lacey and Lily. She was their biggest fan- always cheering them on, celebrating their accomplishments, and offering unwavering love and support. Her family was truly the center of her world, and her pride in them was evident to everyone who knew her.
Margaret worked as a paralegal and was respected for her intelligence, dedication, and strong work ethic. Outside of work, she found peace and happiness in nature, gardening, animals and horses. She deeply loved her dogs, especially Rogue, who preceded her in death, and her beloved companion, Juneau. Margaret had a special love for birds, particularly Cardinals, which brought her comfort and joy and were often a reminder of loved ones close to her heart.
She enjoyed lively conversation, and most of all, people. Margaret truly never met a stranger, and her warmth and kindness left a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. She asked for so little but gave so very much. Margaret’s generous heart, loving spirit, and unwavering devotion to her family will be deeply missed and forever cherished by all who were blessed to know her.
SERVICES: Memorial visitation at KUTIS AFFTON CHAPEL (10151 Gravois Rd., 63123) on Saturday, January 3, 12:00 – 2:00 PM, with memorial service beginning at 2:00 PM.
Marge is one of the kindest and most patient people I have ever met. How she dealt with all of us when we were crazy teenagers is beyond me but her door was always open to all and she treated us all like we were her own. I will miss her dearly and will keep Chuck, Troy, and all of her family in my prayers.
I enjoyed talking to Marge and Chuck. They were like family to me. The world lost a great person. She will be missed.
I am a cousin of Margaret Mary
