Marge maintained close friendships with many of her students and the Britt Community.

After retiring, Marge worked part-time as a travel guide with Northwest Iowa Transportation out of Fort Dodge, IA. Through this experience, she met many wonderful people and had the opportunity to travel to many destinations.
