Marge loved life in general and eagerly explored every crossroad she encountered. Marge loved to travel and went from coast to coast in the United States, Mexico and Europe in her life. Marge was very interested in all kinds of crafts. Everything from braided rugs to delicate Christmas ornaments, ornamental candles & refinishing antiques. Sewing was a self-taught skill she turned into a small business named The Wright Stitch. Marge was a very talented seamstress and designer.
