Happy Birthday to Marge and Sam

Happy Birthday to Marge and Sam

In Memory of Margaret (Stastny) Jones on her April 1st Birthday - 4/1/1915 – 7/24/2016.

Because Marge loved gardening, a memorial fund has been established in her name for a Brick in the Garden at the Dennis and Donna Oldorf Hospice House of Mercy, 315 18th Ave., Hiawatha, IA 52233.

Sam, Marge's beloved dog who shares an April birthday with her, followed Marge shortly after her passing.
