I am very sad to hear this, Marge was a very good friend. I greatly admired her and Steve when I was part of your lives. Her heart and soul are in a great place now. She was so nice to Jan and we often talk about the things we did back when you were living next door in Union Grove. Please stay in touch. May God bless your family during these hard days>
My deepest condolences. What a beautiful lady.
Marge helped me during tough pre teen times. She instilled values that I have now passed on to my daughters. I am so thankful she mentored me growing up. Marge loved life, she will be missed by many. I enjoyed shopping for cowboy boots when she visited me in Tucson. Prayers to her entire family….
I am very sorry to hear that Marjory passed. My sympathies to her family friends. She will be greatly missed. I knew Marjory from bingo at the VFW and the casino bus trips we all took together.

Dear Peggy, Sue, Lynn and families,
I am so glad I got a chance to see Marge a couple of weeks ago. She was as fiesty as ever even though physically she was very weak. Marge was so good to us, we will miss her deeply. We are unable to come to the funeral service because I finally went back to work on Friday after being off a year, and Ron has his chemotherapy on Monday. We will miss sharing this time together with all of you. We hope you are all well and we will be praying for all you. God bless you all.
With our deepest sympathy.
Marge will be greatly missed. She always did so much much for my family and I when we were neighbors. We always enjoyed the time we got to spend with her. She will always be loved and rememered. Our prayers go out to all of her family. Love From The Runyon Family
