Marge A. Weigel's Obituary
Margie Weigel, age 80 of Batesville, died Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at St. Andrew’s Health Campus. Born October 12, 1931 in Ripley Co. Indiana, she is the daughter of Erma (Nee: Volz) and George Braunagel. A graduate of Milan High School in 1950, she married Don Weigel January 22, 1955 at St. Pius Church near Milan, Indiana. A homemaker, Margie also worked at Blank’s Drug Store and was a manager at Hardees’ Restaurant. She was a member of St. Louis Church as well as a past member of the St. Louis School Board, the Batesville Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary and an E.M.T. for the Batesville Rescue 10 Life Squad. Margie grew up on a farm and fondly referred to it as “down the road near St. Pius Church.” She had many hobbies which included crocheting, cross stitching, quilting and always looked forward to her monthly card club date with her friends. A farm girl at heart, she grew a garden and liked cooking and canning what she harvested. Margie enjoyed making potato salad and coffee cakes, but her family all agreed her rhubarb pies, grape and strawberry jellies were the best. What she loved most was spending time with her grandchildren. Margie is survived by her husband Don; daughters and son-in-laws Joan and Edward Tuggle of Topeka, Kansas, Sue Ann and Michael Williams of Dexter, Missouri, Mary Beth and Timothy Callahan of Hendersonville, Tennessee; son and daughter-in-law Greg and Teresa Weigel of Oldenburg; 15 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. In addition to her parents, she is also preceded in death by her son William; sister Lillian Billman and brother George Braunagel.Visitation is Friday, October 5th, from 4-6 p.m. at the funeral home. Funeral services are 10 a.m. Saturday, October 6th, at St. Louis Church with Rev. Randy Summers officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. The family requests memorials to the Lillian Kennel Education Fund at St. Louis School or the Batesville Fire Department/E.M.S. 10.
