Dear Smith Family, My heartfelt sympathies to you as you prepare to honor Marge and celebrate her long, meaningful life on earth. My parents, Bill and Mary Baltz, were early friends of Marge from the early 1960s and her Home Economics teaching days at Whittier Elementary. My mother taught PE there, and as Marge would tell me, swooped down and enveloped her with great kindness and friendship upon her arrival there from Minnesota. I was included in many get-togethers along the way, most memorably attending Marge and Clint's beautiful wedding. As a 6-year old, I was mesmerized, especially as Marge had showed me her lovely dress as she was sewing it. It has been a special pleasure to know Dan, Brian, Marc and Kevin from birth, and to reflect upon our frequent holiday and other gatherings over these many years. Most recently, I especially treasure an afternoon arranged by Dan in 2023 when in town for my HS reunion. Sharing photos and other memorabilia, I believe she recited each family member, children, grandchildren...with such great love and pride in her voice. She also told me of her current study of the Book of Daniel, excited about seeing her Bible group friends later that afternoon. Please know I will keep your dear mother in my prayers and her memory in my heart.

As Marge’s older sister, I have been blessed to have delightful memories of her for over 80 years. In addition to her gifted sense of humor, she was kind and loving to all of our Becker family as well as to her own Smith family. As each day passes, I find myself feeling a greater loss and sadness, with frequent unexpected tears.
My condolences and love to her four sons, their wives, grandchildren and extended family on your loss of a most special Mom, Mother-in-law, Grandma, and Great Grandma. We have all lost a wonderful person, but all should look forward to seeing her in heaven.

Making the video with the grandkids titled “Nana’s Cookies” up at the cabin. It was hilarious!

Marge was always fun to be around and loved to laugh. Her facial expressions were the best! I’m happy that we can celebrate the wonderful person she was with all the family. Marge will be missed.

I always enjoyed spending time with Margie. I would tease her that I would be straight man for her jokes. Her humor was a fantastic gift that she shared with me. She is missed by all that had the pleasure to meet her.

Dear Dan, Brian, Marc, and Kevin,
This is your cousin Anne.
I am so very sorry that your dear Mom has died. ❤️🙏
Aunt Marge was a wonderful person who always brought humor and joy into her conversations. When Marge came to visit, she was always very interested to hear what was going on in everyone’s lives and she shared stories from her life growing up and the lives of all of you and your children. I always looked forward to having her to my home for dinner when she came to MN to visit my Mom and Dad, I knew there would be great conversations and laughter.
Although the cousins have not seen each other very often; through your Mom’s MN visits, my and Steve’s visit to AZ, and when your whole family visited us in Berwyn, PA, I have gotten to know a bit about each of you and I know your Mom loved each of you so very much.
You brothers have a special bond that will help you through the next days, weeks and months ahead as you navigate saying goodbye to your wonderful Mom. I pray that your Mom’s love and humor will fill your hearts in all the days ahead.
Love & prayers,
Anne

My condolences to Margaret's family. I was first introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Smith through Marc Smith. Marc and I were good friends during high school (Around 1983) and remain best of friends to today. We would often arrive unannounced looking for a late night snack or ready to throw an impromptu pool party when the neighbors were on vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Marc's brothers would ofter wonder what 80's hair style I was going to show up with next. The Smith house was always welcoming and an amazing example of what a loving family was like. The house was busy with four boys going in and out of all hours of the day and night. There were many basketball games that ended with someone being dunked on. The household was filled with boysterous shenanigans and I loved every minute of it! I enjoyed watching David Letterman in the guesthouse while dreaming of our next ski or windsurfing trip. Thank you for welcoming me into your family and sharing the adventure. You are loved Margaret.

Marge was my friend, fellow bridge-player and Costco hot dog-eater. Our senses of humor were the same and we clicked from the moment we met. She was a wonderful person who was very proud of her family . She was a true Christian in all aspects of her life. I miss her!
