Margaret Ahlquist Obituary

Deeply sorry about your lost. My prayers are with you. Marge was a wonderful mother. She raised three beautiful daughter who I know.

Marge had great influence in my life. She volunteered to take a bunch of teenagers (who were not her own) camping and backpacking. Not only did she teach us how to be responsible and safe campers, she also gave us friends for life. Amazing lady!

I have many fond memories of Marge. She was a wonderful example of faith and love. My deepest sympathy to Marge's family.

Marge was a woman who exuded joy and embodied the basic tenet of her faith, to love others. Her ever-present smile always brightened the room. She inhabits many happy memories of canoeing, family vacations, and Christmas celebrations. Watching Fred and Marge while growing up, we learned what adult friendship is all about. Though she will be missed here, there are many others who are rejoicing as she joins them in heaven.

We are grateful for having had Marge in our midst and for all that she did for us and for our parish. Most notably, she began and organized our Pastoral Outreach ministry-- visiting the sick, homebound, and shut-ins, so countless parishioners have been uplifted because of her. She now rests most deservedly with her Lord. Our prayers and sympathy are with her family. Ed & Barbara Ulatowski

Marge was like a second mother to me. When my mother (Rosemary Logsdon) passed away back in 1980, Marge was there to Support us. She spent the week before my wedding with me to make sure that I had a very special day. She has never missed a birthday or Christmas, always sending a card with an inspirational note and bringing tears to my eyes. My thoughts and prayers are with Pam, Karen and Vickie during this difficult time. Marge will always have a special place in my heart.

We all remember the chorus "This Little Light of Mine. . . I'm going to Let it Shine". Marge lived this song and I am blessed to be one of the recipients of Christ's Light through her. Blessings to all her loved her so much.

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Marge as well as so many others here in town. But, to know Marge was to love her. Always such a cheery disposition and positive attitude. My aunt always admired the gorgeous shade of lipstick Marge wore...and at the time my aunt was up in her nineties. Marge belonged to our "Birthday Group"...one of the original members. This past week our luncheon group had a moment of silence for Marge and recalled the never-ending list of attributes Marge was blessed with. She will be with us forever. Our deepest sympathies to all of Marge's family.

Absolutely loved Marge, she was a wonderful Girl Scout leader, Porky's trip organizer, advisor and advocate. I and will miss her greatly. I am happy my girls got to know her a bit, especially Ellie. She will be missed too at our family functions as she often joined us to celebrate birthdays, anniversaies, weddings and she watched many DG North and North Central performances of my sister's children. She was always a bright smiling face in the crowd. So positive and always so adventuresome. She's now with Fuzzy and I'm so happy they are together. I feel so fortunate to have had her in my life for so many years. My love and sympathy goes out to Pam, Vicki and Karen and their families who will keep her light shining.

Marge made such a difference in many people's lives. I admired her deep and active faith, loyal friendships, and bright spirit. She was always cheerful and cheering to others. She added so much to our small Christian community.
With deepest sympathy to you, her family.
