Margie retired at 65 from the ICU Unit at Methodist Evangelical Hospital in Louisville. She was a lifelong Christian who understood the power of prayer, and was a member of Wellman Memorial Wesleyan Church. Margie had many friends and was kind and loving to all. We especially want to offer our thanks for the friendship and care she received at the Altenheim.
