Marge was a loving, kind and nurturing wife, mother and grandmother who especially loved time with her grandchildren. She was born in Battle Lake, Minnesota and always had a special connection to the farm and her dear family in the area. Marge had a strong faith in God and read her bible daily. She was active at Incarnation Lutheran Church as a member of the prayer team, communion server and confirmation mentor; particularly enjoying her bible study group. Marge loved having guests and playing with her grandchildren at her beautiful lake home on Lower Bottle Lake, Park Rapids. She was active singing in the Woman’s Chorus Group, The Larks, traveling to many countries, enjoying many years in the Net Set tennis social group and attending St. Paul Chamber and Minnesota Orchestra concerts.
