A dedicated matriarch, Margie was the proud mother of five children, all of whom she raised with the same love and care that she extended to everyone she met. Her family continued to grow, bringing her immense joy, as she became the grandmother of 14 grandchildren and the great-grandmother of 16 great-grandchildren. Margie delighted in family gatherings where her loving spirit brought people together, creating an atmosphere of warmth and joy. She was especially excited when all five of her children were together with her.

Grandma, I have countless fond memories with you that continue to uplift and inspire me. One of my most cherished recollections was spending weekends with you and being your One and Only Princess, a title that fills me with joy and gratitude. I will forever be your princess and I am so grateful for the sanctuary you provided for me growing up. I will always treasure the lessons you taught me and the love you shared with me. I am grateful to have shared time with you and for you to have known your great-grandson, who brought so much joy to your life. I recall you picking me up from school when I was unwell, even if it meant missing a test, and I am so thankful for your unwavering support and love. I miss and love you, and though you may be gone, your memory and legacy live on in my heart, inspiring me to live a life filled with love, kindness, and compassion.
