I worked with Marge's husband John for many years, and was fortunate to meet her when they started dating. I worked with Marge for many years in sd129. She was such a great lady. She had a wonderful sense of humor and I loved working with her. She was very talented and made such beautiful quilts. Rest in peace Marge. God has another angel by his side.

I worked with Marjorie for many years at district 129 and I will fondly remember her sense of humor and the beautiful quilts she made for two of our district nurses when they retired. The superintendent admired it so much he asked her to make him one. It was special because she used a t-shirt or sweatshirt with all the different mascots on them to make these quilts and they turned out so very special. Rest in peace Marjorie !

My deepest sympathy and prayers for Marge's family. I remember her fondly and appreciate all that she did for our students at Smith School as a health assistant. The quilts she made for our Health Services Department gift to two retiring nurses were absolutely beautiful, a reflection of her giving spirit.
Thank God for the life of Marjorie Gross! Elizabeth Silva RN
