Marge worked at IBM Owego for 35 years, the last half of those years in various management positions. She also spent 23 years at Christmas time as Santa’s (Ted’s) photographer, and very much enjoyed taking pictures of children and seeing their growth from year to year. For many years she looked forward to summer so that she could get on the golf course. Marge loved dogs and had many through her life. She was a member of Endicott Elks Lodge #1977.
