Margie was born May 4, 1923 in Stanton, Texas and graduated Valedictorian from Stanton High School. She was a life-long member of the Church of Christ and carried a deep faith in God throughout her life. She was an inspiration to all that knew her. Besides being a loving wife and mother, Margie had a very strong work ethic and served in many varied positions throughout her career. She worked as a switchboard operator and in the County Clerk's office in Stanton, in Administrative Services at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, then as a secretary to the librarian at Lubbock Christian College in Lubbock before maintaining a position at FDIC in Dallas, where she retired. We all loved to hear her play the piano. For birthdays and weddings, Margie would make the most amazing chocolate fudge cake icing.

I am so sorry to learn of this tragic accident. I have so many memories of Margie-- from early childhood! My sympathy to all of the family. I am very much interested in finding out about the condition of Jane. I tried sending flowers, but the florist called on Monday and said they were unable to send them. Just know my thoughts and prayers are with each one of you. Love, Becca

To Diane & family, I just wanted to offer my sympathy in the passing of your Mother. I know how painful of a time this is for you, as I just lost Daddy (W.A. Ringener) on May 5th. Diane, you and I were friends growing up until you moved to Midland and then to Lubbock. The last time I saw you was when your first child was born. I have many fond memories of your family as you and I used to spend the night at each of our houses often. You and family will be in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. Love, Reba
