We miss Aunt Marge. She cared about all of her nieces and nephews & would be very proud of them and the next generations. We were lucky to have her in our lives and we are grateful that she prayed for all of us.
She was a wonderful and caring member of our family and her influence lives on.

Please accept my condolences at Marge's passing. I knew Marge fromMundelein. After graduation we kept in touch for many years. She was truly a lady. Very aware of the feelings of others. RIP

Marge was my first boss at DePaul's library. I remember her very fondly. She was a lovely lady and so helpful to a freshman in college. So many wonderful memories of her. May she rest in peace.

We will miss Marge so much! She was such an important part of our family holidays and celebrations. Her thoughtfulness with beautifully crafted notes and cards was legendary and her concern for others during her own illness was an example for all!
