Marge was a very important person during the years we shared as neighbors in San Francisco. We parted in 1957 with the Lineham family moving to Millbrae. I heard that Marge moved to Arizona and we lost touch. If any of her children see this message and want to contact me, Im in FB. I only wish I could have made contact before she past away.

Marjorie Hilts lived in San Francisco before 1957 where I met her as one of my most beloved neighbors. I tried to find her many times but I was unable to find her. I am so sorry that it took an obituary for me to finally find this kind person. She opened my eyes to art and creative thinking. She was always with me after the family moved from 48th Avenue in S.F. I still have a hand sewn cloth book she made for me. I owe her so much for giving me love of art and life. My condolences go to the family. My name is Grant Lineham I live in Brownsville, CA. My sister, Kathy, has passed away but she would have responded the same at hearing of her passing away. I hope that members of the family might contact me if they feel open to do so.
