Very sorry for your loss! Aunt Marge visited with my Papa (Clare) and she played the piano and shared stories … we laughed and had a beautiful evening. That night was so memorable…seeing my Papa and his sister reminisce is a very fond memory.
Prayers for all of you!
Ruth Anne, Nancy and families, so sorry to hear of the passing of Auntie Marge, I will forever remember her fiery spirit, zest for life and passion for her family! Watching her do dances for Brittany back stage at recitals and singing when Pa was playing the fiddle will stay in my heart forever. Your mother has touched so many and taught so many valuable life lessons, most of all to live to the fullest and love with all your heart! She will be missed, God Bless.
Love, Wendy, Dan, Brittany and Kylie
Always remember her with a smile. Sending my condolences to all of the family.Wow, 100 years young, how special. ????
Always remembered Marge as a fun loving prankster who enjoyed life. All of our family were lucky to have such a wonderful person around at the lake while growing up. I think we all can learn from Marge that laughter is part of the key to a long life.
Dear Nancy and Ruth Anne: Sorry to see your mom has died after a long life.
Dear Ruth Anne and John, Nancy and Peter and families, so sorry to hear about Marge. Barb told me when I talked to her on Saturday. I remember all the wonderful times we had at the cottage and am so glad I had the great
privilege to have known her. Unfortunately I am unable to come to the funeral home as I have had surgery on my foot and am not allowed any weight -bearing for another 3 weeks yet( since Feb.6) My sincere condolences for your loss. She will be missed and long remembered. Love Bev
