Our sincere sympathy for the loss of Marge. She was a sweet, caring lady. May your memories of her comfort you and bring you peace.

I had the privilege of working with Marge Rudd at the Union County Probation Department back in 1986 until 1988. This was my first "real" job out of school. I was so young, nervous, and so insecure about everything. Marge was the most welcoming woman. She always had a smile that let me know everything would be okay and always willing to help me in any way. Our friendship continued throughout the years with many Legal Secretaries meetings which we attended together, etc. Marge was like a second mom to me and I loved her as such. Although I have "grown up" and Marge was enjoying retirement, we still kept in contact with Christmas cards and phone calls. Marge was one of kind and I know I was a better secretary thanks to her guidance, patience, and understanding. You will be missed Marge. Love you <3
