Margie Gallagher Obituary
Margie Carolyn Gallagher, age 91, of Perrysburg, OH, passed away October 15, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. She was born February 20, 1932, in Rossford, OH to Herbert and Mabel (Lewis) Brown. Margie earned her bachelor's degree in education, and master's degree in counseling from Bowling Green State University. Margie taught 6th grade in the Perrysburg Schools for 25 years. She was beloved by her students for her creative teaching style. She was honored with the George C. Munger and Elizabeth M. Munger Award for Outstanding Educator. Her students will fondly remember her as the "Apple Lady" for her extensive collection of apple themed home décor, most of which were gifts from students.
Margie had a passion for the theater, which led to her participation in many community theater productions. Her favorite roll was starring as Bloody Mary in South Pacific. Margie created the Brown Bag Theater productions at Perrysburg Schools. Gifted with a beautiful voice, Margie sang with the Suburban Singers and the choir at Perrysburg First Church. She also enjoyed crocheting and knitting. Margie loved to travel the world and was delighted that she was able to take each one of her grandsons on a trip.
Margie was always smiling and was ready for a good party. She will be missed for her great sense of humor. Margie was a friend to everyone she met.
She is survived by her children, James (Diana), Thomas (Linda) and Sandra Gallagher; son-in-law, Charles Swisher; grandchildren, Lucas (Mindy) and Brent (Robin); and great-grandchildren, James and Natasha. She was preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Carolyn Swisher; grandson, Brad; and brother, Benjamin (Marilyn) Brown.

I was so sorry to hear about the death of Mrs. Gallagher. She was my first drama teacher, and I remember her taking our sixth grade drama class to see "West Side Story" at PHS. I also remember seeing Mrs. G in Annie at the high school-my first musical. I credit Mrs. G as one of the people who instilled a lifelong love of theatre and music in me, and I´m sure so many of her students would say the same. Thinking of her family as they grieve.
Love,
Ellen Main

Marge was an inspiration to me and so many others. She lit up any room and had a gift of making everyone feel comfortable and cared for. She is leaving us with many lessons about how to live a meaningful life!
