She is survived by her husband, Bill Koch; her children Stacey Dershem, Louise Vogel, and Chris Wasinger; and her grandchildren Alexa Kasitz, Nicholas Cyra, Emma Cyra, and Jaden Kasitz. She was the sister of Judith Prater and Father Michael Burrows, OSB. Margie was also a stepmother to Andy (Kathy) Koch, Don (Terri) Koch, Karen (Greg) Lynch and Steve Koch, and had many step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren. She also had several "grand-dogs' and 'great-grand dogs' that she held dear.
Family meant everything to Margie. She was deeply proud of her children and grandchildren and never missed a chance to share in their lives and accomplishments. After reconnecting with Bill at their 40th high school reunion, they married and built a life together in Oregon, where they spent three decades filled with love, laughter, and shared memories.
Her family would like to offer special thanks to Bill for his unwavering love and care, especially during Margie’s illness. His dedication brought her comfort and strength in her final years.
Margie’s kindness, warmth, and quiet strength will be remembered by all who knew her. She leaves behind a legacy of love and deep connection that will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
