9/11/53-1/28/16

There is no doubt the love of Margie’s life was her family and friends, who she treated like family. She is survived by her husband Michael, married for over 40 wonderful years, Nick, Joey (Marissa), and Katey (Justin) Mann. Joe and Marissa recently blessed Margie with a 6 month old grandson, Jackson (Jax). She adored him and he gave her the biggest smile. In addition, she comes from a family of 10 brothers and sisters, all born of Joe and Mary DeLamielleure, both deceased. She was also preceded in death by her sister Nancy (Jerry) Muylaert and Darrel (Caroline). She is survived by Bud (Sharon, deceased), Laura (Joe) Suida, JoAnn (George) Pagels, Tom (Miriam), Dave (Sharon), Marlene (Dave) Farmer, and Joe (Geri).

Margie was such a fun loving person, always smiling with a positive attitude and a very strong personality. From an early age and continuing till the very end she loved to play jokes and pranks on people. Just ask anyone who knew her because they probably have a real good story… Margie was also multi-talented creating all kinds of arts and crafts, floral arrangements, and paintings on a variety of surfaces. She was always pitching in and using her talents to help everyone around her with anything they needed with or without being asked.

Her lifelong occupation was a stay at home mom and devoted wife. Mike and her loved to talk laugh, and travel, the perfect pair. She originally studied to be a nurse, but that all changed when she had kids. She devoted her life to them. Later in life she began working with children in a variety of capacities and ended up retiring from Chippewa Valley Schools as a para-pro for special needs children, she truly loved those kids too.
