Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
In memory of Marjorie Ann Yunger, Mary McCullough lit a candle
My condolences go out to you and your family in this time of loss. May the Lord grant you all strength, and grace during this time.
Love and very belated condolences to Ed, Teresa, Tyler and Blake. I had hoped to get to North Carolina by now but COVID had other plans. But as Marge could surely attest I am always late. Marge embodied everything that my brother Lad, as a teenager, dreamed of in a wife – a tall, beautiful dark-haired girl who was both an excellent companion and homemaker. Marge certainly had more than her share of loss and sadness in her life and Chick’s companionship and support was a real blessing to her throughout the 25 years following Lad’s death. May you rest in peace, Marge. I will miss you and forever cherish you, my sister for over 50 years.
