At the age of two, her family moved to Eastland, Texas, where she was raised with four brothers and two sisters. What her family has heard her say many times is “We didn’t have much, but we had a lot of fun together!” She married her high school sweetheart, Charlie Cole Butler August 25 1939, and they spent 51 years together before he passed away in 1990. They moved to Midland in 1952 and their favorite times were camping and fishing with family members and they always looked forward to the Warren reunions with 60-70 family members and friends. Three brothers preceded Marge in death, H.D.
