  1. Dear Family,
    I was on vacation when I heard about your dear Mother Marge. I was Marge and Tom’s next door neighbor for 30 years. They were both great people. Tom was always helping me in my yard and with my dogs. Marge called me several months ago and I told her I would come to see her soon. She said I had made her day by calling her, and she was returning my call. I would shovel their sidewalk for them and would always bake them cookies and check on them as they did for me. I sure have missed them. Best wishes to their family. Sincerely, Carol Alumbaugh.

  2. Marge (and Tom) were customers of mine in the early 80’s at my Flower Shop on Morris Ave.
    Many times, they would stop by, just to visit. Marge was such a calm,kind and composed person.
    My sympathy to family and friends…we know Tom and Marge are together.It was a pleasure to know them both

  3. I will always remennber Marge as a lively and wonderfully kind woman. I was her Audiologist for several years and always looked forward to visiting with her. We will miss her dearly!

  4. On June 10th I was visiting with Mary Nell Snow & asking about Marge. She told me she had moved to Denver. Upset about Marge’s declining health & now relieved, for her struggle is over. Marge was one of the most positive, brilliant, caring women I have known. Beautiful, inside & out! We have been friends & I have had the priveledge of being her Mary Kay Beauty Consultant since 1987. She always spoke well of her family & never complained. Now her & Tom are reunited & @ peace, having fun in their new home. My sympathies to the family.
    I WILL Miss Her! My life is enriched for having known Marge & Tom.
