Margaret was a graduate of St. Francis School of Nursing, Peoria, IL, completed her BA at St. Francis College of Joliet, IL, and her Masters Degree at Lewis University. She ended her nursing career as a Utilization Review Nurse at Zurich North America in Schaumburg, IL.

Over the next decade, Margie spent her days of retirement enjoying the sunsets of Cape Coral, Florida with her sweetheart Tom.

Margie will always be cherished by her friends and family for her determination and intelligence, quick wit and clever anecdotes, love of Hawaiian music and champagne. But above all, her generous ability to love and to be loved.

A Memorial service will be held at a later date with due notice given. The family asks in lieu of flowers you make a donation to a charity of your choice in Margie’s name.
