Marge was a waitress at Young’s Chop Suey Inn on Trevor Avenue in Lancaster for 15 years, later going to work at Casa Roma, also as a waitress. After she retired from being a waitress she really began to enjoy life. After moving to Leisure Lake Mobile Estates in Lancaster where she and Bob resided for over 30 years, she made many lifelong friends. She and Bob were involved in many of the activities at Leisure Lake including Friday night dinners, The Bingo Bash, and the annual Luau. She loved to play bingo and bunco with her friends. After Bob passed, she moved into The Havens Retirement Community in Lancaster where she began making a new life and many new friends. She still enjoyed playing bingo and many other games offered at The Havens, especially when she won! Please make a donation, if you are able, to a charity of your choice in her memory.
