Marge was born March 20, 1920, in Toddville, Iowa, to Anna Erickson and Wencil Andrews. She graduated from Toddville High School in 1937. Marge played basketball and was on the team that went to the state tournament. She graduated from the University of Iowa and went on to teach social studies in a number of high schools in Iowa before joining the Des Moines school system in 1954, where she taught jr. high students, until she retired. Marge devoted 40 years to teaching.
Marge loved to go fishing in Minnesota, searching for morels, and spending time with her nieces and nephews. Our sister was a very caring person to all of her younger siblings. We will miss her.
