A wonderful woman has been called home. Marge was a wife, a mother, and grandmother. Throughout her life, Marge worked and invested herself into the Twinsburg community.  In the 70’s she was even named Twinsburg’s “Person of the Year!” She worked many years in the Twinsburg Square at the Kollman IGA market. One big part of her life was travelling with her best friend Janet. Marge was a longtime member of The First Congregational Church where she loved to sing in the choir and knit with the “Knit-Witters,” knitting prayer shawls for those in need. Marge was an exceptional woman belonging to many clubs and programs. Twinsburg’s Garden Club is where Marge would host flower shows and win many blue ribbons. Marge led girl scout troops and could always be counted on to be the “room mom”. During many Relay for Life events Marge led the “Footsteps” to raise thousands of dollars for research. She marched for women and with women as a breast cancer survivor, something she was always proud to carry. Marge above all loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren.  She always enjoyed hosting her annual teddy bear picnics and teaching them about Jesus.
