She then went on to cook alongside her daughter, Linda and son-in-law, Charles, at their family business, Charlie B's Pub and Eatery, Plains Twp.

Marge enjoyed being with her family, going to Atlantic City and Mohegan Sun, coffee dates and cooking homemade foods. She enjoyed spending time with the customers at Charlie B's Pub. She was a tough, hardworking and honest and generous women. She never wanted any attention on her and would always ask how others were doing. To quote Marge, she could be heard giving this advice, "Never give up, no matter what life's obstacles come."
