She was baptized Feb. 17, 1924, at Gol Lutheran Church, Kindred, N.D. As a young child, she moved to live on the Tiedeman family farm in Kindred and always shared stories with her family about her happy childhood memories and being spoiled by her many aunts and uncles.
Marge was confirmed on July 3, 1938, in the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Kindred, and in 1942 she graduated from Kindred High School and was salutatorian of her class. Marge then completed Interstate Business College and worked briefly at the Fargo Laundry, Fargo.

She had been residing with her daughter, Patti, and son-in-law, Mike, in Martinez, Calif., for the past seven years. She loved her cats, doing crossword puzzles, watching TV, reading, traveling and Christmas time.
She never missed NASCAR racing and was Jeff Gordon's No. 1 fan. But, most of all, she loved her family. Her whole life she always put the needs of others ahead of her own. She is now dancing with the angels.
