Margie was our Queen Bee—a matriarch and true original in every sense of the word. Her greatest joy in life was being surrounded by her husband, four daughters and eleven grandchildren. Her family was her life’s work, and her legacy lives on in each one of us. She was the Sun that we revolved around. Her warmth, love and humor touching countless lives, and her memory will burn bright forever.
