She loved  the holidays and family gatherings.  Bird watching was one of her favorite pastimes and she was particularly fond of Redwing Blackbirds. You would often hear Marge listening to country music and singing along, especially to Loretta Lynn (a distant cousin).  She liked to study Native American heritage and researching her own ancestry of the Cherokee Nation. She loved magical things such as unicorns and dream catchers. The fourth of July you would always see her watching fireworks.
