Margaret Scalf Wells, 61, wife of Eddie Wells, passed away on Thursday, June 1, 2023 in Anderson, South Carolina. Born August 25, 1961 in Manchester, Kentucky, she was the daughter of the late Willie and Billie Scalf. Margaret was a graduate of Clay County High School, Lincoln Memorial University, and Union College. She was a devoted wife and mother. Margaret worked as a middle school teacher who was well known as a gifted and loving educator. She was also the first female coach of the Scott County Middle School's boys' baseball team, leading them to three consecutive championships including an undefeated season. Margaret's greatest strength was her ability to love and connect with her students and everyone she encountered. She had a special love for the people of the "Harbor Village Hood" and the magnificent 7. Margaret's perfect day would be spent at the beach, by the pool, on the lake, or anywhere warm and sunny. Her personality was as big as her heart, her smile, and her laugh. She will be remembered in our hearts as a fearless woman who would put a smile on your face, hold nothing back, and encourage you to lift others up while enjoying life's journey.
