My sincere condolences to Marge's family at her passing. I didn't know Marge well, but my mother lived at Parkway in an apartment very near to hers. I was visiting my mom once when Marge was in her apartment and her help alarm went off and I went to help her with it. Something had come loose and I was able to fix it. Marge either gave my mom or sold to my mom the word enlarger that Marge used to read with. My mom passed it along to another man from her church that had vision problems. Marge was a sweet and caring lady, I'm so glad that I got to know her, even a little while.

My mom, Lois Steiner and Marge were nurses at CGH Medical Center. Although they were on opposite sides of the "picket fence" during the strike in the 70's,
Marge and Mom both spent their time as residents at Parkway Center sharing their interesting lifestyles and humorous characteristics! RIP Marge! Tell Lois "hello" for me!
