My deepest heartfelt sympathy to Greg, Gloria and family of Marge. Marge will always hold a special place in my heart for it was she and her future husband Donald who in 1950 first introduced my parents, Doris Christiansen and John Vander Heyden, at St. Philomena's Church carnival. Marge was Mom's childhood friend and Donald Dad's first cousin. Growing up Marge and Mom lived very near St. Philomena and across the alley from each other in Chicago's northwest Hermosa neighborhood - Marge at 1819 N. Keeler Ave., Mom at 1812 N. Kedvale Ave. Among the things Marge and Mom did together was take piano lessons at St. Philomena where they played at rectials in both May 1948 and May 1949. God bless you in this time of sorrow and hold dear your memories of Marge as I certainly will. Love, Janet (Vander Heyden) Hale

I worked with Marge for over 25 years & I want to tell her son & the rest of the family what a fine person she was. She was a good worker & a good union leader. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. May God watch over her always.
