Through adversity she kept her strong sense of humor and admirable tenacity. She loved a good laugh and a good story. Her friends and family can attest too the fact that she never told a story which she couldn't "polish" to be just a tad bit better the next time around. She really enjoyed learning and sharing tidbits of trivia at the morning coffee table with her friends.A Memorial Mass will be held for Marge at St. Cecilia Catholic Church on Bainbridge Island on Saturday, May 12, 2007 at 1:00 PM followed by a "celebration of her life" reception in the church hall [Map].
