My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family now and always.
My favorite memory is the comfort Marge found in a throw blanket that was on my couch the night she came for a jewelry party. The fact that I was able to then go and buy her the same blanket that I know became her favorite that she held and used every day , made my heart happy & warm. She was always such a kind beautiful person, that raised a beautiful family that I am lucky to call my “FRAMILY”❤️
Forever in my heart ❤️

Mom,
Thank you for always being the example of how to live life by the "Golden Rule". You taught us love, you taught us the meaning of family, and how to value what is truly important in life. These values have been instilled in us throughout our life. Thank you for these gifts. I love you and will miss you forever...xoxo

How can we write about Marge without talking about Lee? We met Marge and Lee in the '90s when we were fairly new in Coral Springs. Marge and Lee took us under their wing, entertaining us in their home, introducing us to their friends and family, golfing with us, just being the solid people that they were. We later vacationed many times together all over the southeast U.S. They were true blue friends, as blue as Marge's beautiful eyes and Lee's stalwart character. We laughed for hours listening to Marge's tales of raising a house full of children; a fire where, in her panic, she saved all the bills due and owing; and Lee's "attempts" to kill her. (We vowed to alert the authorities should he be successful.) Maybe that was just an inside joke between the four of us, but the point is that she was playful and hilarious and the world is just a little bit sadder without her. We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of Marge and Lee.

Terry, Jane & Michael- so sorry to hear of Margie’s(Mom)passing away. A beautiful, funny lady for sure. We had some fun times, laughing a lot. Both your dad & mom always made me feel like I was still family. Now they are together, dancing up a storm( they loved to dance). Always by your side, always in your heart. Good bye, Margie.
