Rick and I are so sorry to hear of Marges battle with cancer, but encouraged to hear she peacefully went to be with our Lord. Marge has always been an inspiration to me as a co-worker, friend and sister in Christ. I have many fond memories of our work adventures together over 30 some years. We always said we shared a brain, if one couldnt remember something, the other usually could. I have missed her greatly upon her third retirement from work life. Mostly I miss Marges companionship, strong faith, listening ear and her willingness to lift up the needs of others in prayer. To the family of Mike and Marge, you have been left with a beautiful legacy of lives well lived - not perfect - but faithful to the end. May God comfort you in your loss.

We were so sad to hear about Marge. I have known Marge for over 40 years from our days at Central Life working together and lunch buddies for many many years. We watched our kids grow have families and then they had families. Marge always had a smile and a bigger heart. I will miss her. Prayers for all of her family.

Marge was loved by so many. I always loved being with her. She and Mike have left a huge imprint on this world by the way they loved Jesus and shared Him with those around them. We were blessed to meet them and serve with them at Olivet!
