Margie and Leo were married February 13, 1942. A Coast Guard wife and mother, she raised nine children while traveling the United States for over 27 years. In 1967, she and Leo finally settled down here in San Diego. Some of their adventures in 56 years of marriage took them to live in Indiana, Hawaii, California, Florida, North Carolina, Washington, Alaska and Puerto Rico. For 42 years she was an active member of St. Catherine Laboure Catholic Church, volunteering as a Eucharistic Minister and additional church activities, including helping others in need in her neighborhood through the Meals-on-Wheels program. Margie was a compassionate, gentle woman, loved by those who knew her. She will be missed very much by her family and friends, but always kept close in their hearts and loved very much. Heaven is blessed to have her where she is now receiving her reward.
