Our deepest condolences on your terrible loss. Since meeting Margie for the first time 8 years ago I can honestly say that she made me smile every time I talked to her. She had a very unique view on life and how she interacted with it. It was always refreshing and almost always made me laugh. She will be greatly missed by those whose lives she touched even ephemerally. I can’t imagine the loss to those she was closest to, but I know she would manage to make each person smile if she could. You have our thoughts and our prayers and anything else you may want. Our lives are better for having known her and that can never be taken away, she will always live in our hearts.

To Fred, Josh, James and your extended family, my sincere sympathy in the passing of Margie. I knew Margie as a co-worker beginning at DuPont Textile Fibers department. She was always a kind, soft-spoken and intelligent woman, always eager to assist in her professional role and beyond. Long after PRL was gone, she still continued to be my “go-to” person I always called for assistance in areas of procurement – if she did not know the answer she directed me to the person who could help. Rest In Peace, Margie.

So very sorry to hear about Margie, we worked together in Sourcing and she trained me in a few systems. I will remember the last time a seen her in Wal-Mart Centerville Road, we just greeted each other with a hug and then we talked for about 40 minutes. She loved her family, and will be greatly missed.
Becky Raff
Sincere condolences to Fred. Margie was a great person, always full of life. I remember her always giving 100% to whatever she did, and enjoying every minute of every day. She was a dynamo on the softball field, loved playing, and was a great team member. She had a wonderful laugh…it was hard not to laugh along with her when she got started. She will be missed by many. Rest easy, Margie…rest in peace.
Your friend,
Becky Raff

I am very sadden by the news of Margie’s passing. I worked with Margie in Sourcing & she was a great woman, knew her job & loved her family. After she retired, Teresa Radike Makar, Valerie Chickadel Tandy,& I would get together for monthly dinners. We would laugh and carry on like teenage girls! We saw her in August not feeling great but she joined us. She wasn’t up for our September 19 dinner but we were all thinking of her and wishing her well.
October we will celebrate her life and kind spirit! RIP! Hugs, Margie!! We will miss you and your beautiful, kind spirit. Love, Angel

Fred, Joshua, James, sending you my deepest sympathy at this difficult time. I always looked forward to Margie’s Christmas card as she always let me know how all of you were doing. I have good memories of working with Margie and being able to bowl with her. Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs.

I was very sadden to read that Margie passed away so suddenly. I have worked with Margie at DuPont and was so happy when she decided to do what she always wanted to do, retire. It was such a great retirement party for someone who didn’t want one. She just wanted to leave here quietly. Today, I am so grateful that we did go forth with the party, because she was so deserving of that party. She always worked hard and got the job done. Family, I lost my Mother this year, and know what you guys are going through. Just hold on to each other and remember the good times, most of all remember her smile. I will continue to lift the family up in prayer.
