While employed by the New York Central Railroad in Cincinnati, Marge met her future husband, Vernon Messer. Married in 1946, Vernon and Marge spent the next 59 years dedicated to each other, their children and their strong Catholic faith. Vernon passed away in February 2005.
A loving mother and homemaker while raising her children, Marge returned to work as the “Welcome Wagon Lady” in the late 1960’s and was well known throughout the Centerville community. She later became the Administrative Assistant to the Executive Director of the Washington Township Chamber of Commerce in 1972.
An avid bridge player, traveler, seamstress, and crafter, Marge loved nothing more than her children and her faith.
