Marge’s early years were spent in Bridgeton NJ, where she, her brother Ed, and sister Elaine spent many happy years. Marge's father passed away when she was a young girl; her mother Evelyn remarried and her husband John Malm became an important part of Marge’s life.
Marge met her husband of 67 epic years, Nick Ceto, in her hometown of Bridgeton. They enjoyed a wonderful life together, raising 5 children; Nick and wife Mary, Tom and wife Alyssa, Joyce Lynne and her husband Robert, Cheryl Ann, and Douglas and wife Chaz; and had countless hours of adventures with their 14 grandchildren; Kristin, Steven, Douglas, Courtney, Brian, Jason, Jeffrey, Michael, Tyler, Haley, Will, Hunter, Isabella, Nicholas and 5 great grandchildren; Corbin, Giada, Patrick, Emilina, and Juliette.
Nick and Marge had a wonderful partnership over their 67 years of marriage. Their life and careers took them from Bridgeton to the campus of Lafayette college, Pittsburgh Metro, NYC, and finally, Atlanta. During those years, mom, Marge was mom to EVERYONE and organized many family adventures, including trips to the Jersey Shore, Hilton Head, and several cruises created a lifetime of cherished family memories.
Marge will be missed by her family, her countless friends, and those whose lives she touched in so many ways. Her spirit will live in all of us whom she shared life’s lessons. We love you Marge, Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma!
