“Feisty with a sense of humor, she flitted into heaven on angel wings”
Marge passed away on Saturday, November 14,2020 at the age of 94 of natural causes at the Beehive in Kalispell.
She was born in 1926 to John and Laura Riley in Henry, South Dakota. She grew on the family farm with 9 siblings. After high school she went to college and obtained a teaching certificate. Along with teaching, Marge worked as a waitress and taxi dispatcher.
In 1950, Marge met George Isaacson at a dance. They married in 1951 and together raised 3 children- John, Doug, and Patti. George followed construction and over the years they lived in 7 states and 14 towns before settling in Eureka in 1968. She was very involved in the Catholic faith community. She prepared alter linens, prepared food for potlucks, taught youth classes, and made and sold pies for the church booth at the county fair.
