Margaret Compton Hogan, formerly of 143 Locust Lane, Danville, passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early hours of August 14. Margaret was born on December 16, 1918, and was the youngest daughter of the late J. Willie Compton and Sue Slayton Compton. She was married to I. Irvin Hogan, who predeceased her on October 7, 1989. She was a graduate of Dan River High School and was employed for L. Herman's and Thalhimers until her retirement. She had been an active member of Rivermont Baptist Church while residing in Danville. At the time of her death, she was living with her daughter, Joan Hogan Thomasson, and her son-in-law, Rick Thomasson in Newport News.

She was also predeceased by her brothers, Lynwood, Homer, Lacey and Johnnie Compton; and four sisters, Beatrice C. Adams, Thelma C. Wiles, Belva Hall and Alma Adams. Margaret was a kind, considerate person and always tried to take care of others before herself. She had a witty sense of humor and enjoyed the last few years of her life living with her daughter. She was a terrific cook and you never left her table for lack of wonderful home cooked meals. She will be missed by all that knew and loved her through the years. A graveside service will be conducted on Monday, August 17, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. at Highland Burial Park with the Reverend Joel Fletcher officiating.
