In Memory

Margie Quarles

Margie was small in stature but a giant among women. Besides presiding as Western Region President, she also served as president of her local FCE club, as the Montgomery County FCE County Council President for two years, and was currently serving as Past President. It is with great sadness we offer this memorial to Margie Quarles. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
