Born and raised in Chicago, Marge attended St Mary’s High School and Mundelein College and went on to teach grammar school. She met Gene, the love of her life at a parish dance at Resurrection Church, and the two married in 1958.

Marge devoted herself to raising a family, while being involved in parish life at both Saint Raymond’s and Our Lady of the Wayside and taking care of her aging parents. She also enjoyed part-time work in retail. In later years, Marge and Gene began wintering in Fort Myers Beach, FL where they were fortunate to establish a great network of close friends. At home in Chicago, she was well occupied attending and cheering on her grandchildren in their activities and welcoming great grandchildren.
