My condolences, prayers and blessings go out Marge’s family. Everytime I had the pleasure of visiting her home as a guest of one of her grandsons, she always welcome me with an ear to ear smile. Her enjoyment of life and love for her family always filled the room when was near. I know she will be truly missed.

A special lady who we have so many memories. We think about how Aunt Margorie made our wedding cake 43 yrs. ago. We were glad we had a chance to surprise her several years ago when we were on vacation. . I know she will be missed. Wish we were closer.

Those that knew Marge were honored, but those that grew up under her tutelage, God fearing example, and zest for life were truly blessed. It has been a real privilege of mine to know Marge and to see her values and temperaments expressed in her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. In the sweet by and by we will meet on that beautiful shore. We’re praying for you all.

We will miss Marge, but consider ourselves blessed to have known her. She was so kind to me when I moved to Arizona so many years ago, and I will never forget her thoughtfulness towards me.
God bless Ron and the family as they grieve her loss!
