Sony, MaryEllen and families:
So very sorry for your loss. I loved Aunt Margie so much and have so many wonderful memories of her. Growing up with you MaryEllen and getting to know and love both Aunt Margie and Aunt Dorothy. Then having Aunt Margie and Aunt Dorothy taking care of my girls, Brianna and Vanessa, at the morning care program at St. Ann School when they volunteered there for many years. I also really enjoyed working with Aunt Margie on the SAS Alumni Association news journals. I know that she is at peace and oh so happy to be with Aunt Dorothy again in heaven. One can only imagine the joy of their reunion! Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing you peace and comfort from all of the wonderful memories you have of dear Aunt Margie. love and hugs, Beth Ann
To the DeSanto family, I am so sorry to learn of Margie’s passing. I grew up around the corner on Elizabeth St. and went to school with Rich. Margie was such a sweet lady and it seemed she always had a smile on her face or laughing. I also worked with Marge at Marion Rohr summers while I was in high school. I’ve known her all my life and know that she is loved and will be missed. Sending love, hugs and prayers to help you get through this difficult time. RIP Margie!
Condolences on the loss of a loved one Margie was a great person. She will be missed by many.Sending hugs and lots of prayers to the family and a big comforting hugs
