Marge was like a 2nd Mom to me. She worked with me at our family owned restaurant "Cliff's Dixie Cream" from 1962 til 1971. We worked side by side & she was so precious to me. I moved from Mo. in 1975, but I came back a few times a year & would always visit Marge. I saw her last year & knew she was failing, however she never complained about anything. 3 other friends Judy Bott's -Cully & Vickey Spicer-Thompson & Diane Baird also worked with Marge. Judy, Vickey & I would always go visit Marge when I was in town. We all had some great talks together. I admired all of Marge's doll making talents, horse carousels & her many sewing talents. She was a great listener, friend/2nd Mom to me & I will forever miss her. She will live on in my heart. So deeply sorry for her loss. Thanking Michelle for her hard work & staying in daily contact with her mother-she ALWAYS appreciated her!

Margaret was one of the most talented and kindest women I have known. We worked together for years at church, we loved decorating, both cake decorators, and put together some wonderful banquets. The dolls she made were amazing and it was so fun to bring them to the Mother-daughter banquets. We both sew, but her clothes, her drapes, she could make anything. And we are both gardeners and her back yard was like the Garden of Eden. Everything she touched was beautiful by her hands. She taught me so much and I respected and admired her. And, her kindnesses to people, even when they were unkind, she was a lady, so dedicated in her faith and love of the Lord. She will never be forgotten.

Margaret was a friend for many years through our church attendance together. We shared a lot of things in common as well as cake decorating. I was just at her home for a visit a little over a month ago. So sorry to hear of her passing. She had a long and wonderful life. Such a talented woman and great friend. May you find comfort in the knowledge that she is in Heaven no.
