My heart goes out to the family. Marge was a wonderful woman who was always encouraging to those around her. She had such a warm heart and kind spirit. She will be dearly missed by so many in the community.
Marge had a great smile and kind way about her that I will always remember. I am truly sorry for your loss and will pray for strength and comfort for your family.
I enjoyed playing with Marge and her sisters who lived across the road from us as children. Marge had a great laugh and was the peace maker among all of our squabbles. I know she will be missed greatly and I send prayers of comfort to all the family.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. May they find comfort in her love and memories of her as these will keep her always in their hearts. May God watch over you all!
So sorry to read of Marge’s passing. She was such a sweet person. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in her family.
I am so very sorry to read of Margie’s death. We lived in the same suite in Watterson Towers when we were in college so many years ago. Margie had a wonderful sense of humor and was so much fun to be around. I know she had to be a great mother and teacher. My deepest sympathies to her family.
