Margie attended DeVilbiss High School. She worked as a floral designer and then as a seamstress at Jobst for many years. She later acquired her real estate license and was a realtor with Danberry and DiSalle, after which she retired to stay home and raise her grandson Steven. Margie had many gifts and interests. She was a talented artist, loved gardening, was an avid reader and antique collector. She enjoyed spending time at her cottage on Hemlock Lake with her kids and grandkids. Anyone who knew her well, would never think of interrupting during an episode of Jeopardy. She had a true love of nature and horticulture that was evident in the beautiful trees and flower gardens she planted. Margie was also a creative writer and had articles published in local newspapers.
Margie was preceded in death by her parents and beloved husband “Bobby”.
