Marge was a graduate of East High School and was employed at General Electric for many years where she met the love of her life Ronald B. Wisniewski whom she married on June 24, 1961.

Marge was an active member of St. James Catholic Church. She had a warm and loving smile, she was a wonderful cook and appreciated the company of others. She enjoyed crafts, painting and ceramics, organizing events and meeting with friends for card club and neighborhood Christmas holiday traditions in her earlier years. She also loved traveling, cooking and hosting for the holidays, and was an avid Penn State football fan, but most important to Marge was spending time with her family.
