One never to complain, she fought off many illnesses over the years. She was raised by very spiritual parents and she made sure her family knew about Jesus. She was a longtime member of East Side Mission Church and former member of Tops.
One not afraid to speak her mind, she was the true guardian of her family. Margie enjoyed a passion for meeting and talking with people. Her friendly nature will long be remembered.
