A special thank you to her very best friend, Karen Hemmingson, who has been there for her through everything over the years, especially over these past several weeks, stepping in and being willing to do anything, including caring for Neube so the family could spend valuable time with Marge.
Marge’s career as a Legal Secretary spanned many years. After retirement, she regularly volunteered her time on the association board where she lived as well as serving multiple hours as a volunteer through St. Patrick’s Church, helping to ensure those who were saying goodbye to their loved ones had a beautiful luncheon to follow their farewell service.
Marge will be missed by everyone who was fortunate enough to know her but will continue to live on in our hearts forever.
A special thank you to:
Cornerstone Caregiving in Forest Lake, specifically Rachel, Mackenzie and Amber who came in and provided overnight care for Marge, so the family could get some rest overnight and be refreshed to care for and be children during the daytime hours.
Allina Hospice, specifically Amy, RN, Amanda, RN, Peggy, RN, Molly, Aide. We are so grateful for the support and compassionate care provided to Marge during these very difficult days.
