Canton-Margaret "Maggie" Overby Albrecht, age 90, died September 7, 2004 at Silver Bluff Nursing Home. A native of Petersburg, Virginia, she was born April 16, 1914 to the late Louis Jefferson and Lula Levenia Overby. She was preceded in death by her husbands, Frederick Partin and Maurice E. Albrecht. Surviving are two sons, Fred L. Partin and his wife Lee of Homosassa, Florida, and Gary R. Albrecht and his wife Dawn of Clyde, North Carolina; one sister Sadie O. Callis of Petersburg, Virginia; six grandchildren; and five great grandchildren. Maggie was a loving mother, wife, sister, and grandmother whose independent spirit was a source of inspiration for both family and friends. She was a retired seamstress, homemaker, and hospital volunteer who resided in Tampa and Lakeland, Florida for many years. She relocated to Haywood County in 2002, reluctantly leaving her beloved bicycle behind. A private memorial service will be held at the family plot at Blandford Cemetery in Petersburg, Virginia at a later date.
