She was the beloved wife of the late Robert Reusch, with whom she would have celebrated 68 wonderful years of marriage May 4th. Robert preceded her death in 2015, and now they are reunited forever.

She is survived by her children, Robert (Jeanni) Reusch Jr., Cyndi Reusch, Rick Reusch, and Mary (Jeff) Bolger, her 12 grandchildren, and 7 great grandchildren. Margie was the matriarch to her family, enjoying every opportunity to spend time with the adults and especially the younger generations. She had a gift of making sure every child felt special and heard. Not only was she dedicated to her family, but she also was a believer of giving back in life by volunteering with various church, school and community programs, both in KY and FL. She was a longtime member of St Patrick Catholic Church, where faith was a cornerstone in her life. In addition to being a homemaker and talented seamstress most of her life, Margie also retired as an Administrative Assistant from a financial company.

A long time winter resident of Florida, Margie cherished her time there, calling it her “happy place.” She was an avid game enthusiast, including card games, Bingo, puzzles, etc., and she was known for her social, outgoing nature— never meeting a stranger. Her thrifty spirit, excellent cooking and homemaking skills, and love for family and social gatherings, created countless cherished memories for those around her.
