Marge was a creative soul who spent her working years hand retouching portraits in the days before photoshop at Jack and Jill Studios. Marge was a devoted and loving mother. She brought laughter and happiness to everyone she met ranging from family and friends to total strangers.

She will forever be remembered for her love of her cat, Shadow who provided her with devoted companionship. She will also be remembered for her fondness of sweets, especially the fudge in which she indulged whenever she was able.

She is survived by her loving children, Toni Shramko and her husband Ross of East Stroudsburg, Pa., and John Bartos and his wife Marcia of Magnolia Texas. Marge is also survived by her grandchildren, Ashley Bartos, Jennifer Hopkins and Michael Hopkins.
