Margie was a woman who truly walked the walk. She was loved by all who were fortunate enough to know her. Ned and I truly loved her and looked forward to our yearly visit when we traveled to Texas. She was always ready with a meal and a great big Margie smile. She will be missed. Our condolences to the family.
