Margie was a graduate of Albuquerque High School and attended the University of New Mexico. She was employed by Sandia National Laboratories, took time off to raise her family and then finished her career as the Coordinator of Continuing Medical Education for UNM. She was an ardent golfer. She and Bob played many golf courses around the country and around the world, combining their love of golf and travel. She was proud to have been president of Hilltop Women’s Golf, New Mexico State Women’s Golf, NM Senior Women’s Golf, as well as the Tijeras Arroyo, Arroyo del Oso, and Los Altos Women’s Golf Associations. She had been a member of the Assistance League of Albuquerque and served on the vestry and altar guild at the Cathedral Church of St. John. She loved to work on Sudoku, crossword puzzles, read and knit. In fact, she lovingly knit hundreds of baby blankets and donated them to local hospitals.

The family wants to thank the wonderful care she received from her PCP Dr. Molleck, Dr. de Pirro from Presbyterian Hospital at Home and her hospice nurse Shannyn.

Please do not grieve. Margie had a wonderful life and believed in an even better one to come.
