Marge retired from First National Bank of Chicago over 40 years ago. Over the years she kept in contact with some of the friends she made there and always talked fondly of them. She enjoyed spending time with all her niece and nephews and made many Afghans and fleece blankets for them. She also made lots of goodies to bring to her family get-togethers. She loved going on trips, especially to the casinos. We will always remember her saying “that’s a possibility” and “I’m doing the best I can!”
