Margie enjoyed playing tennis, playing cards with friends, going to the casino, reading, gardening, and doing puzzles with her great-grandchildren. Her passion was raising her girls and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She looked forward to Saturdays, when all the family would come over and she would cook pancakes. Margie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend who will be deeply missed.

In addition to her parents, Margie was preceded in death by a daughter, Denise P. Breaux; a grandson, Bradley Richardson; and a great-grandson, Lincoln Pharr.
