My condolences to the family. I shot pool on the
Fiesta Village Ladies Team for several years and also played cards with her. I've missed her in the park but kept in contact through Gladys.

Marge was a great lady! We knew her when she lived at Fiesta Village with Dewey. They were great neighbors & she always had a smile for everyone. We missed her when she moved home to be with her family.
