After retiring, Marge spent winters visiting family in Arizona. When at home, she enjoyed working in her yard, feeding "her" birds and the frequent deer who found refuge there, and being a wonderful friend. Her home was a place that all were welcome, and where a slice of her famous bread, a warm meal, and a good laugh could always be found.
Marge is preceded in death by her husband, Fred "Tiny" Westwood. Sister, Betty Hansen, Brother, Arthur Hansen, Brother, Kenneth Hansen, Sister-in-Law, Ileen Hansen, and Son-in-Law, Thomas Wuebben.
She is survived by her six children; Betty Wuebben,of Kansasville, WI; Sandra Fiegel, of Mesa, AZ; ; Pamela (Curt) Steinke, of Scottsdale, AZ; Tina (Ralph) Eubanks, of Tucson, AZ; Thomas (Amy), of Orlando, FL; and Charles (Laurie), of Lincoln, DE; eighteen grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, one great-great-granddaughter, and many nieces and nephews.
