My mother, Pam Wuriu, worked with Marge's husband Dave at his real estate company for many years. I know she really liked Marge a lot. She had very fond memories of the Hanlons. I am very sorry about her passing.

Marge was my mentor as a new pharmacist when I first met her in Kaiser and continued to mentor me for all the years I worked with her. She was kind hearted, extremly intelligent, warm, caring and respectful to everyone she interacted with. I will miss her dearly and thanks for your kindness and for sharing your knowledge. Rest In Perfect Peace. Pauline Abunaw- Njomo(Springfield,VA)

I have known Marge since 1978. She has been a wonderful friend, a gracious teacher, a kind person who treated everyone she met with respect. She is the epitome of a lady and will be missed by many.
