Due to the current health situation and directives from the Illinois Governor and the CDC, private graveside services will be held at the Littleton Cemetery, with Brother Matt Haberman officiating.  In lieu of monetary memorial contributions the family suggest that you honor Margie by helping the poor, feeding the hungry and strengthening your community.  Margie took guidance from 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”.
