Margie graduated from Bloomington High School, was a member of Calvary United Methodist Church and was a long-time supporter of St. Jude Children's Hospital.

She was dedicated to her family by providing love and support, always looking out for everyone else and making sure her family was cared for and loved. She adored her grandchildren and loved spending time with them.

Outside of her family time, Margie enjoyed part time work at Lincoln Grade School and two Women's Clothing Stores, Pine's and Witzig's. Anyone that knew Margie knew she took great pride in her appearance and never left the house without looking her best.

She showed an enormous amount of courage and resolve with her long-term battle with Alzheimer's.

Margie was a caring wife, mother and grandmother. Words cannot accurately describe how much she will be missed.
