In 1953, Margie married Carl Barwise in a small ceremony in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, this year marked 61 years. They had three children, Sandra, Thomas and Phillip. The family resided in several locations: Rancho Cucamonga, CA; Yucaipa, CA; Hesperia, CA; and Apple Valley, CA. For the past 5 years they have called Coeur d'Alene, Idaho home.

As a homemaker, Margie made her family and home her top priority. Her skills at cooking are remembered by friends and family: cakes, pies and of course, Jello. All who had the privilege to know her can attest to her kindness and loving nature.

Margie cheered the Dodgers, they were her team. She enjoyed sewing, reading, playing Spider Solitaire, family camping trips, travel with Carl, watching Fox News and weekly card games with friends.

Margie's relationship with the Lord was the center of who she was, faithfully raising her children in her Faith. She served in the nursery and VBS over the years. Her church family at Emmanuel Baptist Church has been a wonderful support in recent years.
