Margery was known for sharing freely of her time, of her arts and crafts talents, and of her words. In years past she volunteered with spinal cord injury patients, recorded audiobooks for the vision impaired, read to nursing home residents, and participated in Church Women United. She loyally followed the Cleveland Indians and Cleveland Cavaliers via radio broadcasts. In her later years she enjoyed entering artwork and knitting projects in the Wayne County Fair exhibits, for which she received multiple ribbons.
She passed away at her beloved home in the countryside, due to progression of Alzheimer's disease.
A private family memorial service is planned.

So very sorry to hear of Mrs. Sersigs passing. We lived down the street for many years in Cleveland Heights and I always remembered her being a very sweet, gentle woman. Our thoughts and prayers are with all her family during this sad time.

Margery lived a life that was the epitome of "the greatest generation". Aside from the home and family life my parents provided, the Sersigs were the bedrock foundation for numerous families who attended or were members of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Cleveland Heights. Every Sunday, Margery was there, greeting the congregation following the service and always providing love and support for those who needed it the most. She and Pastor Sersig are both together serving the Lord.
