Margaret Ardelle Langdon
December 30, 1941 - November 15, 2024
Margaret Ardelle Langdon, age 82, of Newark, DE, passed away at her residence on Friday, November 15, 2024.

Growing up I remember fondly Christmas Day when my Uncle Wayne and Aunt Marge would come for Christmas with my 4 cousins. Wonderful memories. RIP and many blessings to her family

Karen Fithian
My mom was always my rock. I can remember as a child of her scratching my head when I wasn’t feeling good or down. My mom was also my best friend. I could talk to her about anything. Mommy I will miss you very much. Who I am going to visit after my doctors appointments now. Those were the best visits for me.

Kenneth and Dawn Wittman
We have very fond memories of Cousin Margie, Kenny from his youth and Dawn, having met her through marriage. We remember taking a trip up to Uncle Oscar’s farm in recent years with Harry and Kathryn, and other cousins. We will miss her.

Margie, my older sister by 14 months, quickly took me as her personal alive doll. Thus she loved me and defended me from all dangers for many years. She is missed.
