Marge attended Hawthorne High School, was an excellent student and majorette supporting school events. After graduating she accepted a job in sales at a popular NYC clothing store. She worked hard and was promoted quickly into a buyers position which she held for several years.

While raising her family Marge found the time to express herself as an artist, creating beautiful landscape and still life oil paintings which filled her home. She was also a skilled seamstress making costumes for local school plays and community theater events.

In the early 1980’s Marge and Roy embarked on a new adventure with the purchase of the Pasquaney Inn on Newfound Lake in Bridgewater NH, which they owned and operated for five years. Marge’s skills in purchasing, organizing and cooking contributed greatly to the Inn’s success. After selling the Inn, Marge worked as a chef in a local nursing home until they moved permanently to their winter home in Florida.

Marge was a longtime resident of her retirement community and had many friends and was loved by all who met her. She was an active member of St. Marks Episcopal Church in Haines City, FL where she also faithfully served as the Director of the Alter Guild for a number of years.
