Margie was my aunt and godmother. She lived across the country but her life was one we heard about through stories from my mom. I remember well seeing her picture in the paper when she wore a pedometer to measure her distance in a day. I recall her visiting us when she was pregnant in 1968 when they drove across country. But the first time I spent any real amount of time with her was after I graduated from high school. She was kind, funny and very busy running a household but her overall good humor made her a kick to be around.
I am thinking of all my cousins and Uncle Bill now. May her spirit and love live on and comfort you. I'm sure that is what she would have wanted.

Dear Mr.Orme and all of your children,
I was so saddenedto hear of Mrs. Orme's passing. You were so kind to get to my mom's funeral and I am so sorry not to have done the same for you in losing Mrs Orme. Mrs. Orme was so easy going calm and always a conversationalist !! She was relaxing to sit down and chat withand always wanting to know how everything was going in our family. I shall always have special memories of babysitting for your children and the many kindneses you both did for my parents. I kept Mrs Orme in my prayers and now I 'll keep you in my prayers as I am sure this is a lonely time for you. But with all of your kids and grandchildren I know you will never be alone.
Peace. The Foley family

DEAR Bill, Mary Jane, Nancy, Sally, Betsy, Joanne, Michael, Carolyn, and “Grandpa” Orme:
I’m writing this note at a very sad time. I want to extend to you all my sincerest, deepest sympathies on the death of your mother and wife.
I have many, many treasured memories of Marge. I feel privileged to have witnessed personally her charm, such as when she struck up a conversation with a North American tourist on a Oaxaca City street corner while the two were waiting for the light to change. The woman revealed to Marge a hidden restaurant on a back street which turned out to offer the most memorable meal we experienced during our whole eight years living in México! Or when she and I were in a department store looking to buy a jacket for Bill. Marge suddenly took off in search of a live model, and “captured” a young man, a fellow shopper, telling him he was about the same height and build as her son, and would he mind trying on several jackets so we could make a choice? She even asked this stranger which style he found most comfortable. She had a basic belief in people, and it shone through like a beam.
You Mother was fun, and she was a very caring person. I know everyone will miss her a lot.
With warmest condolences,
David Orme’s Mom,
Susan
