Margaret Ann Daigle

Margaret Stokes Daigle, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully on June 24, 2025, in Houston, Texas, at the age of 76. Born on September 22, 1948, in New Orleans, Louisiana, Margaret brought warmth and unwavering love into the lives of everyone who knew her.

Margaret was the devoted wife of Ralph Daigle, her partner in life and love for 55 wonderful years. Together, they built a beautiful family and a life centered around traveling and love.

She was the proud and loving mother of three daughters: Anjanette Daigle; Michelle Kangas and her husband, Steven; and Mandy Smith and her husband, Jordan. Margaret’s greatest joy came from her role as “Granny” to her four granddaughters—Cora and Annabel Kangas, and Juliette and Jayla Smith—each of whom she helped raise with the same care, strength, and tenderness she gave to her own children.

A gifted seamstress and extraordinary cook, Margaret had a talent for making everything more beautiful and meaningful. Whether she was behind a sewing machine crafting something special or in the kitchen preparing one of her signature dishes, she gave it her all. She enjoyed traveling with friends and specifically her family all over the world. She gave the gift of giving back to the less fortunate through NAM and Angel Reach. She always felt blessed and encouraged paying it forward through many donations and scholarships. Her gift of kindness was ever present. Her smile lit up every room, and her quiet strength and endless devotion were the heart of her family.

Margaret’s legacy lives on in the generations she nurtured and in the countless memories she helped create. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished by those who had the honor of knowing her.
