Love you Aunt Margie! Always will remember your laugh and sense of humor.
I’ve only known Marge for about 6-7 years and couldn’t be more blessed for being a part of her family. The Gaggin/Berghyus/winkel family. She was a sweetheart and will be missed by all.
Aunt Margie was always kind and fun to be around. Her and my mom, mary, were a close pair and together they shared raising kids and keeping a clean and tidy home 🙂 They were quick to laugh and share stories about the old days. The world is a sadder place without her. We will all miss you.
