Marge and Troy were married on April 19, 1947 in Rockledge, PA. In 1954, they bought their home in Horsham and remained there for the rest of their lives. They spent many summers in Canada with friends doing what they loved, fishing. Their grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought much joy to their lives. Marge was her husband's devoted and loving caregiver during his last years. Marge loved and enjoyed her crafts. Many friends and family received many gifts from her such as needlepoint, cross stitch, and greeting cards. She loved making things for others. She was also employed at Flexible Circuits for many years prior to her retirement.
