I first knew Marge in the 1970s when she had her dress shop in Magee and I worked on the Magee Courier in ad sales. Later, after she began working at the library, it was my pleasure to see her each week as I ran the system’s courier route. In more recent years, it was always good to drop in to visit and be greeted by Marge’s trademark warm welcome. She lived and loved her job and the Magee community was better for her. My condolences and prayers to her family during this painful time. Magee Library won’t be the same without her.
Melinda and family,including Morley if he’s still around. I appreciated Marge for who she was, a real person who did’t mind being herself. She’s one of God’s special angels for feeding and seeing to all those cats and kittens in the alley. I will miss her and so will the library.

Melinda, you and all of Magee are in our prayers. Marge touched our lives and the lives of so many. Now she adds one more attraction to Heaven.
We wish to extend our condolences and let you know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers. I know words, however kind or well intentioned, can not mend your heartache: but those who care and share your loss wish you comfort and peace of mind during this difficult time. May God be with you. ~Sincerly , Olievia Redfern and Family
Praying for the family and library family of Marge, I have known her for the last 25 years, i always saw her at Staff Development Day and this past February 2012 we both along with Dot was honored with 25 years of service from CMRLS. Marge will be missed by all that knew her, she was a sweet lady.
I first met Ms. Marge at the Library. She had a love of reading that she put to good use. She really loved working at the library and sharing her knowledge with everyone. I will miss her warm smile and her willingness to help everyone. Magee, the library and everyone who knew her has suffered a great loss. My prayers will be with all of you during this difficult time.
I work for CMRLS, too, and I always enjoyed talking with Marge at our annual staff meetings. She was witty and droll, and added great ideas and questions to discussions. She’ll be missed.
I have known Marge for over 40 years, and although I haven’t seen her in several years, I remember her as a true Christian lady. Magee, MS won’t be the same without this kind lady. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and I feel honored to have known her.
Ms. Marge will be greatly missed at the library and all around Magee. You’re in the thoughts and prayers of many for your loss. Her memory will be cherished by many.
I work for the library system and have for the last 15 years. I have always enjoyed getting to talk to Ms. Marge, whether by phone, at the library or at a meeting. She loved her grandsons, and enjoyed showing off her handsome family. She was a good person, and it showed in the care she took of God’s creatures – from her church family to the stray cats she cared for. I will miss her. She will be remembered and loved by many.
