Margie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She was known for her generosity and tireless service to her community and faith. She contributed her time and talents as an officer, board member, and dedicated volunteer in numerous organizations, including the Girl Scouts, local library and park boards, PTA, St. Lawrence and Holy Rosary Parish Councils, Altar Guilds, as well as contributing to services there in music and song.
