At the age of 18 Marge was stricken with polio and had been in a wheelchair since that time.  Marge accepted Jesus as her savoir in her youth and was an inspiration to her family and many friends.  In spite of her handicap she always showed a cheerful spirit and loved her lord with all her heart, and knew one day she would walk again in heaven.

Marge enjoyed cooking and blessed many people through her talent in the kitchen. She loved children and babysat for many children for over a span of 22 years.  Marge developed a friendship with Emma Jean Schrock and through the years the two traveled extensively and were able to visit every State in the Union except Alaska.
Because of Jean's kindness and friendship Marge was able to experience many wonderful things in life including being able to live in her own home until 2 years ago.

Don, Ellen and Betty are very grateful for the love and kindness that Jean has given Marge and to Carlene for all the special care and concern she has given Marge.

The family would like to thank everyone for their support and kindness that has been shown to us during this time.  We also give thanks to God for the healing and wholeness that Marge is now living in.
