Marjorie Lee Lange,
77, cast off her earthly bonds on
April 4 after a lengthy fight with
cancer. Margie, one of 11 children,
was born in
 Toledo
to Frederick and Emma Wegener (Boesling)
in 1930. She was graduated
from Whitmer High School in 1945 and
soon began a
career at DeVilbiss Co. that ended
decades later with her holding the
position of secretary to the
treasurer. She then worked for the
accounting firm Ernst & Young, from
which she retired in 1985. Her
great passions in life were working
on her crafts and maintaining
her beautiful yard and garden. She
spent many years working in the
alter guild at Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church and was strong in
her Christian faith. She carried the
following prayer in her purse:
"Father in Heaven hear my prayer
Keep me in Thy loving care
Be my guide in all I do Bless all
those who love me too."
Margie was greatly loved by her
family and friends, and she held
unbounded love for them, always
willing to sacrifice to help others.
She was a woman who overcame much
pain and suffering in her life by
her enormous strength and
resilience, fighting until her last
breath. She
will be sorely missed.
Margie is survived by William John
Lange, her husband of 58 years; son
Richard (Susan Pioch); daughter
Linda Staccone (Tracy); grandson
Lucas
Dashner (Amanda); granddaughter
Nicole Staccone; twin sister
Margaret
Orban (Ron); sister Carol Ballert
(Bill); brother Harry Wegener, and
numerous nephews and nieces.
Preceding her in death are her
parents, three sisters, and four
brothers.
Visitation will be Monday, April 9,
from 3 to 8 p.m. at Reeb Funeral
Home, 5712 N. Main St., in Sylvania.
A memorial service will be held at
11 a.m. on Tuesday, April 10, at
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 3934
W. Laskey Road, in Toledo.
Memorial donations may be made in
her name to Hospice of Northwest
Ohio.
