Aunt Margie told some great stories. I will forever remember her laugh and her smile and the love she had for her little doggies. I will miss her dearly.

Aunt Margie was a brilliant woman. She had fashion sense that rivaled top models, a sense of humor that could make anyone smile, and was the classiest lady around. Her adventures were colorfully reminisced and will be told for generations to come. She lived her life to the fullest and she will always be missed.

Margie was special, a blessing, one of a kind.  Till we meet on that beautiful shore.

Margie was a symbol of a generation that will not be known to future generations.  She had a great sense of style and appearance.  Each weekend she looked forward to the the Lawrence Welk show on Saturday night.  I will always remember her stories and expression "Uh, Laha Laha".  We are blessed to have known her.

I am going to miss her. Aunt Margie always loved her dogs. She loved mine too. She loved it when I brought my dog Mandy.  She also loved hot dogs from Costco. She would share hers with Mandy. I remember my great trips to San Diego to visit her and wash her windows. One time she put the electric blanket on the bed and Patty and I were either hot or cold and couldnt figure it out.  Aunt Margie had accidentally switched controls I had Patty's and she had mine. Was funny.  She was a fun lady to be around. We would go shopping, to Sea World, the Wild Animal Park (when Patty, Brenda and I went the ostriches were having a good time) and the Zoo.   Then home for her to fix dinner.  She would say we were going to spoil our dinner if we got a snack.  Several years in a row about 11 she came to our house for Thanksgiving and she would help me with dishes when I made pies. She use to eat Total cereal and there was a coffee cake recipe on box and we had everything but raisins. Back then the store was 10 miles. So we took raisins out of my raisin bran. Lots of memories. You will not be forgotten. Love you always. Sherry

Margie was our neighbor in San Diego. She was such a kind lady and we loved to talk with her in the evenings as she watered her lawn. We had tea at her house on several occasions where she told me about her large family. Such a kind lady and she will be missed.

Aunt margie you will be forever missed.  I remember all the birthdays parties weve shared at the park. One in particular, was this last one you had.  You were talking to my mom brenda cannella and was puting make up on for pict time. I walked up and you smiled from ear to ear and winked.  Even at old age you still had so much love and life.  Im so sad you are gone, you were and still are soo precious.

I have lots of memories of this awesome lady which is my Aunt. You will be missed.  I Love You.

When I was in USMC boot camp in San Diego, I knew that no one from my family would attend my "seventh-week visit." Margie and Ralph came, very pleasantly surprising me. Margie sewed my chevrons on my shirts each time I received a promotion. I would go with Margie, Ralph, and Spot to various places in and around San Diego. I had a wonderful time with Margie, and count it a pleasure to have known her these many years. RIP Margie, my friend.

Aunt Margie even though she had no children of her own she connected with her nieces and nephews through visits and letters.  We all appreciated her good sense of family. I will miss her greatly.

Thank you God for giving me many years with this brilliant woman that was my Aunt. Thank you Aunt Margie for the wonderful bond we have had. It was an honor to be your niece, travel companion, and caregiver. I have many precious memories to cherish. I love you.

Aunt Margie will forever be in my heart. I remember so many times her coming to visit back in Iowa and all she did for my mom and I. Rest forever in peace. Love and miss you.

Aunt Margie was an amazing individual. She loved being with her family and always had fantastic stories to tell. She will be dearly missed.

Many fond memories of Aunt Margie.  She shared a birthday with my oldest grandchild. Had not seen her for years but she was in our thoughts often back in Iowa.  She will be missed.
