Margaret Cannon Boyce Brown is a widely recognized civic leader who attended Amarillo College from 1940-1942 and distinguished herself as a member of Phi Theta Kappa, Kappa Delta Chi, Student Council, College Players and the staff for both the newspaper and the annual. She went on to earn degrees from the University of Texas and Columbia University, and she taught home economics from 1946-1951 at UT. But it is primarily through community service that Margaret made her mark. She and her husband Spencer helped establish the AC Ex-Student Association and set up an endowed scholarship at AC. She has been president or a director on numerous boards, mostly in the Waco area, but many of them statewide or even national in scope. Among them are St. Paul’s Episcopal Day School, the Historic Waco Foundation, Texas Commission of the Arts, Friends of the Governor’s Mansion, Hockaday School, Texas Association of Colonial Dames and Sulgrave Manor, which is George Washington’s ancestral home in London, England.
