Francis and Kathy Spern

Want to express my sympathy to the family on behalf of the Pine Lake Manor Subdivision.  Marguerite and Lewis were great neighbors and contributors to our sub.  

The family is in our thoughts and prayers.

To Cathy and family, the loss of your Mother is hard but we know the faith that your Mother had and that is sharing a new life with her loved ones. Remeber her wonderful way of letting you know how much she loved her, Stay strong in your faith. I will be praying for you all. Karen Wilson,co-worker of Cathy's.

My son is married to Marguerite's granddaughter Shannon Ferris Bennett. And I remember meeting her and being very impressed by her. Her attitude about life and her smile. Always looking so nice and taking good care of herself. I loved sitting around and talking to her. She was so proud of her family. She let me know how she thought the world of my son and how they were doing a wonderful job raising their family. I am so blessed sharing two of her Great Granddaughters
Abby and Emmy as my Grandaughters and can only strive to be half the Grandmother she was! Here's to her long and happy life may she rest in peace of a job well done..I will miss seeing her at family get togethers and hearing her wonderful stories...

This is Danny St.Louis, son of Marguerite's sister Bernice O'Donnell St.Louis.

Most of my memories were from Hamilton Lakes when the O'Donnells had their summer reunion. Laughter, jokes, and many stories through the night. Maugerite had a very distinctive voice, and laugh. I could always tell it was her even though  I was too tired as young child to keep my eyes open.

My last conversation during one of my visits from Russia was a delightful story about my mother. Your mother was the youngest, and has lived a long life as did my father and mother. I still miss them, and at the same time I appreciate a special life I had. I am sure all of Marguerite's children feel the same way. Theywere a unique family, that knew how to enjoy life. Marguerite always had a pleasant, loving attitude who may life better for all of us.

My condolences, and appreciation for being a part of a special family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Marguerite was my late mother's Judith Ann St Louis God mother and she meant the world to my mother therefore she meant the world to me. Marguerite was there for me after my mothers passing and she was a blessing to me and I will never forget her and her huge heart.

Love Alison, Gabriel ,and Alexa Quam / St Louis

Years ago I told my brother John, "You are a lucky guy. You have such a wonderful Mother in Law." He just looked at me and smiled. 
May you Rest in Peace, Mrs. Spern.

I worked with Marguerite many years ago at Montgomery Ward Central Accounting and have always kept in contact with her.  I just loved her, she was always upbeat and happy and such a cute personality.  I will miss giving her that occasional call just to talk and say 'Hi'...

Bill,
We are so sorry for your loss. I hope you can be comforted by knowing that Marguerite experienced a full life that she shared with family and friends that she loved and loved her.
Our thoughts are with you and your family.
Ray and Janet Husband
