Marge was a bookkeeper, retiring from Luria Brothers in 1990. She was a member of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church and was very proud of her Polish heritage. Marge loved cooking and perfecting new recipes. One of her greatest passions was making meals to share with others wherever she went. She especially adored cooking for her kids when they gathered weekly at her home for Wednesday night dinners. Her family was her world.
 
A caregiver all her life, Marge took great pride in always being there for her family. Throughout the years, she cherished the companionship of her many beloved dogs. Marge also enjoyed crocheting, playing the accordion and organ, gardening, and working puzzles.

Marge was larger than life; always the life of the party. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Her family would like to thank Trail Creek Place and The Center for Hospice Care for the compassionate care Mom received.
