She is preceded in death by her mother, Juaquina, father, Ben, daughter, Buffy Manago, and two grandsons, Michael Tarango and Adam Hughes. Margie was a vibrant, charismatic being, with so much love for life. Her energy was endless, and her sparkling personality was infectious. She had a smile that could brighten the day. She had a passion for the outdoors and adventure. She could take a troubled piece of land and make it paradise. She was a woman of hard work and instilled that in all of us. Margie loved her family and grandchildren. Margie’s loved to sew and create. She ran an upholstery and seamstress business, creating keepsakes for her family and friends. Margie had a massive stroke on November 12, 2002. This stoke altered her life, but not her will or personality. From then, until the time of her passing, her husband, Edward, loved her and tended to her every need and condition. Margie was surrounded by family and loved ones during her passing. Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, no crying, nor pain anymore. For the former things have all passed away.” She will be truly missed.
