Margaret Wilkinson Sparks
Margaret
Wilkinson Sparks was born the fifth child of 14 to George Eugene and Bertie Moore
Wilkinson on August 30, 1920 in Birmingham, Alabama. Her twin brother Marion
Thomas Wilkinson was born 15 minutes before her. She weighed only 3 1/2 pounds
so it was a miracle that she survived and flourished and lived to be 96 years
and 21 days old. She was a beautiful girl and woman both physically and
spiritually. She graduated from high school in June 1938, married her life’s
true love, Thomas Emerson Sparks, on July 15, 1938, and turned 18 in August.
The marriage lasted 49 years until Sparky’s death and they had one daughter,
Dorothy Kay, and one son Thomas Emerson, Jr.
