Margie married Dale Johnson from Eaton, OH, on Jan. 24, 1950, and lived in Greenville where they raised their three children. Margie was a cook for the Greenville School System and at the Darke County Home. Margie had a great smile and loved to be with her family. Margie was known for being spunky and witty until the very end, often calling her family and caretakers $h!t @s$ with a twinkle in her eye.
She loved homemaking, playing cards and caring for people. As difficult as it was for her family to see her decline in health during the past several years, Margie is with her Lord Jesus in her Heavenly Home enjoying what she loved most.
Margie is survived by her children: Michael (Janet), Sebring, Florida; James (Janet), Columbus, Indiana; Annette (Craig) Hohnberger, Groveport, Ohio; and grandchildren: Christopher (Stephanie) Johnson; Lauren and Leah Hohnberger.
In addition, Margie, was preceded in death by Dale, her beloved husband of 66 years, her parents and her 5 brothers and 5 sisters.
