Marge held a deep faith in Christ Our Lord. She was a dedicated member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Jordan and volunteered many hours at her beloved church. Marge passed on her strong faith to her family.

Marge enjoyed traveling and spent many winters in the Florida panhandle. A few of her other interests were knitting, playing cards, gardening, golf, crafts, cooking, boating and fishing.
