During her amazing life, Marg is known for her commitment to family and community as noted in her many photo albums. She served the local community through her devotion to her Catholic faith at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, by teaching CCD classes and being a leader in Girl Scouts. She taught us all how to fish; at the end of the day, she usually had caught the biggest one! Sundays after church was the family fishing day. Business came natural to Marg, as demonstrated through her management of the family tax and electrical businesses. Most of her birthday pictures were taken at the family tax office. She was very proud of her genealogy research. She wrote 3 books on her family histories and geneology. But her greatest life contributions were helping each of her children to find their way through family leadership and individualized support. Timothy refused to take his Kindergarten picture so Marjorie jumped right up to hold him in the picture and with tears in his eyes, he overcame that trauma with her by his side. Mom, we will miss your strength and devotion until we meet again on the other side of this life.
