My condolences to the family. Margy will be deeply missed.
"We were shocked to read that Margy has passed away.
She was one of our first students at Antigo High School business classes. She always had her homework finished and on time, and always a smile on her face--and a cute giggle. She will be missed! God bless you all! We are up North and will not be able to honor her at her funeral."

Our family got to know Margy soon after moving to Antigo. I remember she used to call my younger brother Johnny Fischer "Johnny Bing"..oh my gosh..just loved her!
The world just became a much sadder place! She will always be remembered for am the laughter she brought to this world. My heart breaks for her family and everyone who was lucky enough to have been called her friend. Praying for God to comfort all those devastated by her sudden departure from this world!

I am one of Margy's cousins--our mothers are twins. I have such wonderful memories of playing together as children. Our families spent a lot of time together. It got pretty wild when the Richards and Guenthner kids were all together! We've kept in touch over the years and I'm so glad we did. My prayers and love are for her family.
Margy you were a great person now you and Mary can raise some fun up in heaven your going to be missed so very sorry for your families loss R.I.P
So sorry...Margy was one of the best. Yes, she had the best sense of humor. She will be missed.
So sorry for your loss. Margie was a great coworker and friend. We spent alot of time together as hockey moms. RIP my friend. You will be sadly missed.
I knew of Margy in high school, but never really go to know her well until the summer of 1974. I had gotten a job in Eagle River working in housekeeping at Eagle Waters Resort. At the same time, Margy and Becky (Schmiege) Ripley were hired there also, Becky as a waitress and Margy in housekeeping as well. Margy soon dubbed us "The Eagle Waters River Rats" It turned into a friendship for life! She was also the first person to call me Madre. Margaret Ann, I will never forget you.
Margy was in Girl Scouts! This was taken at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois on the way back from a Girl Scout trip to Savannah, Georgia in June of 1969. Here is Margie with Janice Faulks, Deb Zemke, Claudia McCormick, Sue Rogman, Chris Rasmussen and Anita Williams (Girl Scout leader).
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for Mary's family.
To all of Margy's family, I m so sorry for your loss. I have only fun memories of Margy. One of the best times was when she and I planned the Dawley Twins 80th Birthday. It gave us a chance to talk often, and as you can imagine, laugh much! She was so happy to do that for our moms. We have been in contact more often lately and she was always such a positive and goofy cousin. I will always treasure these memories and she will always have a place in my heart. I send love to you all.
Margy I will always remember that smile and goofy jokes rest in heaven my friend you will be missed dearly...
As I remember Margy , she was always a great and fun person to be with.
