Marge was a very intelligent, hardworking, independent woman. She was a loyal, dedicated mother and grandmother who enjoyed spending time with her family. Marge loved her church, Cornerstone Baptist Church, and many years of joy being involved in activities there, and her wonderful Pastor Siler. Reading her bible daily gave her much strength.
At home she enjoyed playing on the computer and reading.
She will be loved and missed by all forever.
