Margie Faust, 91, of Somerville, Texas went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, September 20, 2025. 

Margaret, affectionately known as Margie, was full of love, jokes and magic tricks. She married the love of her life, Alvin Faust, on October 31, 1951 and raised three children, Howard, Delbert and Margie. She loved Alvin and her children more than anything and would always have a hot meal for them. One of her best dishes was salmon croquettes. She loved to travel with friends, listen to music, watch the RFD channel and sit on her front porch watching life go by. Margie was a lifelong member of First United Methodist Church of Somerville and contributed greatly over the years organizing luncheons with her famous pimento cheese and sweet pickles.

Margie is proceeded in death by her parents, Frank and Annie Smotek, three sisters and seven brothers.

Margie leaves to cherish her memory sons, Howard Faust (Mary Orozco “Sweetie”, Delbert Faust (Kathleen); daughter, Margie Faust (Kris Sands); sister, Janet Zan; sister-in-law, Rose Smotek along with numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.

Pallbearers are Alan Dale Hozak, Glen Smotek, Vince Svec, Patrick Smotek, Bruce Faust and Jeff Schoppe.

Honorary pallbearers are Kenny Tharp, Staci Williamson, Junior Smotek, Patsy Like, Dennis Ray Hozak and Ken Greening, Jr.
