I send you our sincere sympathy at this difficult time. Bill and Corene Price
Corene and Bill thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
You probably have no idea who I am but I played bridge with Marge at Field Club. We joked that she was old enough to be my mother. We were naturals. We could almost read each others minds when playing cards. We both had more than a handfull of kids. I had seven and thirteen grands. My heart joins with yours in missing her. Fran O’Neill
Thank you Fran. Mom loved, loved , loved her bridge and all her bridge girlfriends.
We were friends. We both had lots of kids. We played bridge(WELL) together. I will so miss her.
We are so very sorry for the loss of your mother, grandmother, great grandmother, Hoping your wonderful memories will bring you such comfort as you enter into your grief journey. Sending all of you loving energy.
I bet she was an absolute gem knowing some of the family she raised! Our condolences to you, Gary, Rela, Dave, Wade, Mary, Jennifer and the Davis family and ALL of you. May God hold you close as you remember and miss her! Kathie & Scott McGill family
Kathy and Scott, thanks for your condolences on behalf of my brothers and sisters.
Marge had a huge smile and a generous nature.
Sorry to hear of Marge’s passing. Condolences to your family from Southeast Iowa. I am Carol Ledzki’s newfound (in 2016) half-brother, and she has often mentioned her Aunt Marge fondly during our conversations. Sadly, I never had the opportunity to meet Marge.
