Margie was a longtime member of Englewood Church of Christ. She was a woman whose greatest joy in life was her family. Her love was unconditional, her heart was generous, and she had a way of making those around her feel loved and cared for. She gave so much of herself to the people she loved and created memories that will be treasured forever. She will be deeply missed by those who were blessed to know her.

Those who knew her will remember her for her loving heart, her strength, her kindness, and the countless ways she cared for her family. She was not only a mother, but a source of comfort, wisdom, encouragement, and unconditional love.

Though our hearts are broken by her passing, we are grateful for the years we were blessed to have her with us. Her love will continue to live on through all those whose lives she touched. 

She leaves behind a beautiful legacy of love, and she will forever remain in our hearts.

“A mother’s love is never-ending. She may leave this world, but she never leaves our hearts.”
