Margie was such a a beautiful, caring, loving and giving women. She was my second mom all through junior highschool. She would take Tammy and I everywhere and went to every soft ball practice and game we had. Every Friday Margie would take us to Serloin Stockade where we could eat all we want but our favorite was the ice cream maker. I will never forget how much she took care of like her own child. Rest in peace Mama.
