Marge was a dedicated employee at the U.S. Geological Survey when I started working there. She will also be remembered as a great cook. Some of my favorite recipes came from Marge. She lived a good life and will be remembered well. My sympathy to her family.

Joe Moreland recalls Marge as a hard-working employee who made sure that deadlines were met. She was a pistol who stood her ground and never cowed down to anyone. She will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

I had the honor of working side by side with Marge and her cousin, Tordis Brosten, for over 20 years. Both were two of the best USGS employees I worked with and considered each a friend. I can still hear Marge’s cackle as it brightened many a day. Pat Ladd is correct. I personally had the benefit of Marge’s cooking prowess and still have the waistline to prove it. I will always be grateful Marge was a part of my life.

Many years ago, I had acquired some medical debt and ran into Marge and Inge at a restaurant, and she said whatever it was they would take care of it. I never had to take them up on their kind offer, but I knew they meant every word of what they said. What a fine worker and fine people to emulate.
Teeah Roberts says
I was so sadden to hear the passing of my favorite patient. I took a contract at Cooney healthcare and Rehabilitation as a CNA. Everyday I got to see all my beautiful and handsome patients made my day. But Marge became my favorite lady♥️ she always had a beautiful smile on her face, loved to wake up early and pick out her outfits for the day, putting curlers in your hair and help assisting you everyday I was on that unit made my work day special. It was an honor to be your Beautician and CNA Marge, rest peacefully and condolences to your family and to your daughter Ramona who you always spoke about💕 Sending my love your way.
