Marjorie Flagel Obituary
Marjorie "Margie" Flagel
June 20, 1942 - March 13, 2024
Marjorie (Margie) Louise Flagel, age 81, passed away on March 13, 2024, at the Oregon Health Care and Rehab Center.
She was the daughter of Donald and Edith (Harris) Gurius, born in Maquoketa, IA. She married Duane Flagel in 1960, and moved to Wisconsin Rapids where she lived for many years until moving to the Madison area in the 1980s.
Margie had many skills. She was excellent at typing and word processing. Her career involved various secretarial and administrative assistant roles. Later in her career she worked both at the UW Medical School and the UW School of Veterinary Medicine doing medical transcription.
Her faith in God helped her overcome many health and substance abuse challenges. She liked to use a couple different phrases: "Everything is under control," and "I love you," the latter lavished on health care workers, store clerks, friends, and family.
Margie was an animal lover, especially cats. Her last cat, Zoe, brought her great joy and comfort. In her retirement years she spent time on many of her artistic passions - crocheting, drawing, painting ceramics, needlepoint - to name a few.
Margie is survived by her daughters: Nancy (Edward) Jorgensen, and Laurie (Donald) Dean; four grandchildren: Brian Dean, Melissa (Derek) Schwenn, Benjamin Jorgensen, Nathan Jorgensen; and two great-grandchildre: Lillian Schwenn, and Raegan Schwenn. She is also survived by a cousin, Billie Case;y and her former husband, Duane (Gail) Flagel.
A memorial service will be held on April 6, 2024, at CRESS FUNERAL HOME (6910 Speedway Road, Madison, WI) with visitation from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM and the service to follow.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the National Alliance on Mental Health or Westwood Christian Church.

I worked with Margie at the School of Veterinary Medicine in the Word Processing Department. She was such a kind person, always had a smile, and spoke very kindly to all. She truly was a very nice lady.

I worked with Margie at the Vet School doing dictation. She was a very delightful person to know and always had a smile on her face. Beautiful friend.
