We were blessed to meet the Stevens in their later years through our son-in-law Steven Orange . During times of special family gatherings that we were fortunate to be a part of, Marge was always engaging and inquisitive. Her presence brought on element of joy which she readily shared in her sparkling manner . She has truly been a treasure for the family that has been embraced by her love .

Dear Marge, how you are loved. I will carry your memory in my heart forever The many years that you were a very active, contributing member of First Pres were such a blessing. Of course, the trip to the Holy Land and the other "outside" activities that you and Bob were a part of remain some of my favorite memories. You blessed my life and I don't know how to express how much that has meant to me.

Marge was a dear friend who always had a smile to share and was excited to see you. Bob and Marge were my daughter's table parents at LOGOS and through that shared a special friendship. During a difficult time when my daughter was suffering complications after a major surgery, Marge and Bob prayed for her for many months. Their prayers meant so much to our family. Marge was one of the kindest, selfless people that I've known. Her generous heart and service to others is a legacy that will be long remembered. - We love you, Marge.

Marge and Bob were dear and valued friends during my ministry at First Presbyterian Church 1965-1977. With their children Bruce, Susie and Kent, their family were devoted and loving. Marge was a devoted Mother and Wife, Christian and leader. I am grateful for the memories I cherish of times with Marge and her family.
