Marge Dunham, 86, of Argos passed away at 8:37 AM on Monday, September 26, 2022 at her residence.

On January 14, 1936, Marjorie Fern was born in Argos to Lloyd D. and Ruth B. Bodey Reed. She was the oldest of three daughters and shared her childhood with sisters, Demaris and Zelma.

Marge and Lorraine D. Dunham were married on November 29, 1953 at the Walnut Gospel Church and have shared 68 years of life's adventures.

Over the years Marge was active in her church's activities, playing the piano and helping with the youth. Many will remember her assisting them at the Argos Post Office, where she worked the counter and hand delivered the town mail.

As gardens were harvested, she could be found canning vegetables and making relishes and sauces.  Peach pie "season" was the family's favorite, but all of her pies were delicious with her flakey homemade crust.

Grandma cherished the time spent with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was very proud of them and was always glad to have them drop in for a visit.
