Not sure what to say?

Still remembering Margie with love and a smile. After losing Ted just two years after Margie's passing, thoughts of her are bright spots of his heritage.

Peace and Blessings to Margie and her family.
She was a special lady and a wonderful caring nurse. With Sympathy Mary Grantham

Margie was a sweet woman--I worked with her at the hospital and she would fill in for me at Dr. Perez's office. She was such a tiny ball of energy & was so much fun to be around.

Sorry for your loss Margie was a awsome lady and Nurse. My father's cousin by marriage Robert Zies. Rest is peace Margie. Anne Zies, Gregory Zies

The world lost a lot of energy when Margie left it, but she leaves behind memories of that energy (amazing to come from one so small), of her big heart, and of her smile. Margie's Dad, Helmer, was a brother of my Dad, Roy Gustafson. He and my Mom, Alice brought me and my brother, Dennis, to Colorado in 1948.
We have had little contact with her over the years, but we visited with her and Bill whenever we were in Rockford to see my cousin, Betty Strom ... and they were a blessing to be...

She was a great friend to my mother, also a nurse, for many years.She helped our family navigate difficult decisions when my mother was in a coma. And always warmth, humor and that great laugh

Marjorie will always be remembered as one of our greatest supporters. We so enjoyed when she stopped in the volunteer office to get a hug and wet kiss from our dogs. She was always smiling when she came in and we will miss her!

I remember this very kind lady as a nurse who took wonderful care of my mother in her many trips to St Anthony's during the last year of her life. One time, my mother was very cold so she kept bringing her heated blankets without any bit of impatience or annoyance. Her care was so appreciated.

I had the pleasure of working as a Unit Clerk in the ER with Margie from 1981-1986. I still remember her laughter and her jokes and I also have a couple of her recipes that I will always cherish from times she brought food in to work to share. I was so sorry to hear that she had not been well. My condolences to you and your family.
