Margie loved spending time in the kitchen, creating delicious meals for her grandchildren. A line would gather around the kitchen table for her breakfast chocolate chip cookies, and warm cinnamon rolls. Margie was a member of the Birdseye Christian Church and an avid Euchre player. She loved spending time with her “little sweeters”. The family wishes to thank the care team at Heart to Heart Hospice for their excellent care.
