Margie was born Feb. 11, 1939, in Osmond to Anna (Ertzner) Thomsen and Harry Thomsen Jr. Margie graduated from Osmond High School in 1958 where she was in band and honor society. As a young girl, she suffered from polio and subsequently her physical activities were limited for most of her life. After graduation, Margie helped her parents in their home with chores such as canning, cooking, and baking. After living with sister Helen for most of her life, Margie spent her last years at Osmond General Care Center, where she enjoyed wonderful care and companionship. She liked playing cards, doing crafts, watching birds at the feeder outside her window, and most of all she loved conversing with visitors. Former neighbors, Tom and Dottie Schmit, were among the most frequent visitors, delivering her mail and keeping the bird feeder full.
Margie is survived by sister Violet Veik of Osmond; nieces and nephews, Terry (Linda ) McClain of Fremont, Diane (Lonnie) Erhardt of Omaha, Roger (Bernice) Zobel of Grand Island, David Zobel and Carolyn Christensen of Lincoln, Marilynn (John) Gunter of Marshall MN, Jacalyn (Dan) Pospisil of Yankton, SD, Shari (Peter) Paglio of Dawsonville, GA, and Shelly (Tom) Hinds of South Sioux City; many cousins, great-nieces, great-nephews, and other relatives.
As the youngest of six children, Margie was preceded in death by her parents and siblings, Evelyn (Clayton) McClain, Earl Thomsen, Irene (Wayne) Zobel and Helen Thomsen; brother-in-law Jerome Veik, and nephew-in-law Gary Christensen.
