We lived a few houses over from you guys….other side of Hitchcock…..Movd to Cold Spring ’64……Still remember Marge & a few of the kids……My Dad died in ’70 (same age as Marge….would have been) He was 51. Mom died 8 years ago & brother 10 years ago….just me now. My Sympathy to you all….Gary Koska
Margie was such a wonderful neighbor to us when we lived on 6th Ave. S. we lived right across the alley and our kids were back and forth all the time. Margie was a brave soul during those first years after the deaths of George and Joey. She was in a widow’s group and a friend of Mary Humphery who was a friend of Dorothy Day. So Margie and I were able to have the privilege of meeting Dorothy Day. She was a great friend. My condolences to you all.
A great friend in time of need.
I extend to the Johannes family my sincere condolences on Marjorie’s death.My mother , Eileen Gohman Jurek,as I recall went to high school with Marjorie.She often spoke of her.Tom was a high school classmate of mine.
My mother, Ann Peopping Koopmeiners (deceased), was part of an original group of friends that worked together at “Clocks Tick Tock Cafe” in St. Cloud. For years the group would get together on a routine basis. There was a lot of conversation and “pranks” played on each other. I believe Marge is the last of the group to pass.
It is no small thing to celebrate a life well lived . . .
