Margie was an example of grace and beauty.  She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.  Margie loved making sure others were ok and checking in on loved ones.  Her favorite way to serve was being a grandmother and her grandchildren adored her.  She loved dancing and singing and passed on her love of music to her children and grandchildren.  Margie had a vibrant spirit that laughed a lot and loved immeasurably.  To know Margie was to love her.
