Listen to Obituary
With great sadness, our family announces the passing of our beloved matriarch. Born to John and Esther (Yost) Yeager in Fort Collins, Colorado, at Poudre Valley Hospital.
Marge worked for and retired from the Poudre School District at Eyestone Elementary as an office manager for 24 years. She had a passion for flowers, embroidery, going to horse shows, and was a longtime supporter of 4H. An eternal farmgirl at heart, Margaret loved and cared for her many animals including cats, chickens, and ducks. In her later years she would occupy her time with word search books and watching game shows, especially the Price is Right.
However, her greatest accomplishment and source of joy was her family. Married to her husband Roger for 68 years, together they raised 3 children. Rolene, Kerry (Cindie), and Tammy (Aiona). She has 2 granddaughters, 1 step grandson, and 6 great grandchildren. Marge is preceded in death by her parents, brother Leroy, sister Eileen (Boxburger), and son Tad.
Service will be held on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, at 11:00AM at the Highland Cemetery in Wellington, Colorado.
En lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Vasculitis Foundation https://vasculitisfoundation.org in her honor.
