Michael Paul “Mickey” Powers, 65, passed away at his home in Lothian, Maryland, on March 30, 2026.

Mickey was born on April 29, 1960, and raised alongside his three siblings with the utmost love and care by their beloved mother, Emma Lou, who worked tirelessly as a single mom to support her family. Mickey was part of the graduating class of 1978 at Suitland High School. He then attended High Point University before joining the United States Navy. Mickey was proud of his time spent in the Navy and shared stories often of his time spent serving our country. He then went on to work as a mail clerk for Gibson Dunn law firm in Washington, D.C. where he worked for the next 27 years. Mickey’s loyalty to his loved ones knew no bounds and carried no expiration date. The greatest love of Mickey’s life was his beloved wife, Margaret Powers. Mickey and Margie attended their junior year homecoming dance together in 1977 before going their separate ways for the next 25 years. Their love was undeniable and the joy and laughter they brought to each other’s lives was palpable. Mickey and Margie were married on September 18, 2004, in Kitty Hawk, NC.
Mickey treasured his wife, his extended family, his work family, his classmates, and his baseball teammates and adversaries alike. He carefully curated his collection of baseball cards, coins, and even his words as he loved to write his own poetry. Mickey will be remembered for his deep intellect and jovial spirit.

Mickey was preceded in death by his mother, Emma Lou Olivet; his late siblings Johnny and Gina Powers; father-in-law Robert F. Kramer, and his step-granddaughter Savannah Gail Adams. He is survived by his soulmate and wife Margaret Powers; his brother Pat Powers, and nephew Patrick Powers; his stepdaughter Erin Adams and her husband Jeff Adams; and step-granddaughter Camryn Adams.
