On October 30, 1954, she married her husband Matt. They celebrated close to 62 years of marriage. Marge was a very devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She worked as an Administrative Assistant for the Dept. of Agriculture for several years. She dearly loved spending time with her family. Marge loved to paint, sew, do embroidery and make porcelain dolls. She belonged to Sewing Guilds and Quilting Clubs.
Marge (Grandmom/Meemaw) was a person who gave little thought to herself and much thought about others first. Her attitude towards life was always positive. She had a beautiful smile and a beautiful heart. She loved to laugh; her laugh was like no other. She loved her wine, loved the beach and she was ready to go on any adventure at the drop of a hat. Her attitude towards life was one that anyone would envy. We all will cherish her homemade crafts.
