Mrs. Margaret J. Herring

Margaret J. Herring, known as Maude, was born on March 31, 1934, to the late Willie Manuel and Martha Galloway in La Vernia, Tx. She was the sixth of seven children. During her early childhood, the family made the move to San Antonio, Texas where Margaret attended schools in the San Antonio Independent School District.
She later met and married Wyman H. Herring, Sr. who at the time was an Airman in the United States Air Force. To this union four children were born, Antoinette, Wyman Jr., Stephanie, and Michael. The family traveled throughout the United States and Japan. Margaret would always tell stories about the people she met and became friends with during these travels.
Margaret was a long-time member of Tried Stone Baptist Church. She was also a founding member of True Gospel Baptist Church under Rev. L. O. Perry until its merge with Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church under Rev. W. Smith, her current Pastor. Margaret was a woman of great faith, and she would always say that if you cannot believe in God, you don’t have anything.
