Margaret Kay "Margie" Hurt

Margaret Kay “Margie” Hurt December 18, 1960 – August 16, 2026 Margaret Kay “Margie” Hurt, of Centerview, Missouri, passed away on August 16, 2026, at the age of 65. Born on December 18, 1960, in Kansas City, Missouri, Margie lived a life defined by strength, independence, hard work, and an unmistakable spirit all her own. Known affectionately as “Margie” to her family and friends, she was stubborn in the best way; strong-willed, determined, and never afraid to stand on her own two feet. She was smart, hardworking, and fiercely independent, with a heart that cared deeply for the people and things she loved. As a young woman, Margie began her career as a model before moving into administrative assistant work. She later began working full-time at Strate's Drive-In, where she became an important part of the Strate's family. Under the ownership of her longtime friend, Linda Strate, Margie took great pride in her work and ran Strate's like it was her own diner, putting her personality, dedication, and hard work into everything she did. The friendship she shared with Linda over the years became an important part of her life. Margie was a hippie at heart, with a deep passion for rock 'n' roll and a love for her Kansas City Chiefs. She knew how to enjoy the things that made her happy and never needed anyone else's permission to be exactly who she was. Margie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Rodney Hurt, and both of her parents, Donald and Joyce McCoy. She is survived by her son, Aaron Hurt; her daughter, Nyssa Plympton; and her grandson, Asher Hurt, along with the many family members and friends whose lives she touched. Margie was a woman of Christian faith, and her family finds comfort in knowing that she is now at peace and in the loving presence of her Lord and Savior. Margie will be remembered for her strength, independence, intelligence, hard-working nature, and the unforgettable personality that made her who she was. She lived life on her own terms and left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Her absence will leave a space that can never truly be filled, but her memory will live on through the people who loved her and the countless memories she left behind. “Always remember you are braver than you think, stronger than you seem, and loved more than you know.” Margie was all three—and she will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always loved. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, with details to be announced once arrangements have been finalized.
