Margene and Ralph were always in our lives as "friends of our parents". My mother having lived with Margene during their California adventure in Oakland, and then later adding my father and Ralph to the group. We heard many tales of fun and enjoyment including the famous maid and butler routine where they punked some friends before that was even a thing. But later when we moved to Maryland we became friends with Margene and Ralph on our own, as semi-grown ups. It was a privilege and joy to know both of them. I visited Ralph in the hospital after heart surgery in the 1980's - surprised that he was up and moving so quickly! Pictionary games at their house have become family legends (I'll tell you the story but not on a tribute page). They both had such great laughs. Our love to all of you.

my condolences for your loss to the whole family; love to Charlie and Jane and your families - long time. May your mom rest in peace. Mary Foulke
Margene was one of my longtime friends. She was a gracious, caring woman. We enjoyed many dinners together including Mardi Gras parties, and the lovely Thanksgivings. My husband Bob and I were among the guests at the famous Butler & Maid evening! I have many delightful memories of Margene’s quick wit and happy remarks. All of us will miss her tremendously.
Margene was my roommate at Central College for two years. She was such a fun dear friend. And she was smart and enthusiastic and shared her opinions freely which I appreciated
Sixty years ago, I met Margene at my first assignment as an English teacher. We have been friends ever since. We have taught, dined, attended theater, opera, concerts, cooked, given parties, boated, traveled, shared holidays, talked, laughed, and cried together all through these many years. I have had the privilege of watching her children and her grandchildren grow up. I shall greatly miss my friend.
My sympathy and love to you, Charlie and Jane, and to your beautiful families.
