Marge served on many committees and with many organizations, including the Grafton City Hospital Auxiliary, the Oak Grove CEOS club and the Republican Party Committee in Taylor County. She and daughter Lori volunteered for several years at the Anna Jarvis Elementary School library.

Marge was a member of the Cleveland Baptist Church in Ohio and then Calvary Baptist Church in Grafton for many years. At Calvary Baptist she served as a Sunday School teacher, hospitality committee, MBA messenger and especially loved sending cards to members for special occasions.

Marge thoroughly enjoyed crafting, especially crocheting. She created and donated toboggans for the pediatric unit at Ruby Memorial Hospital several times and crocheted gifts to her friends and family. Marge also enjoyed painting, boating, camping and traveling.

Marge and her little shadow Lori were always seen together and both always willing to lend a helping hand to friends, family, neighbors and strangers at times.

The family would like to thank Dr. Tom Stevens and the entire staff at Grafton City Hospital for their kindness and care for Marge. Many thanks to Hospice and Nurse Amy Turner, who offered help and assistance always.

Memories of her would definitely include her infamous "rolling of the eyes" and "it is what it is" and "I'm going with the UpperTaker". Her goal in life was to serve the Lord and make Heaven her home and today she is with her Savior.
