REMEMBERING JENNIE MARGERUM

Dear Emerson Community,

I’m writing with sad news. Tuesday evening, March 4, Virginia (Jennie) Margerum passed away. Jennie was a long-time member of Emerson who put countless hours into volunteering to make Emerson a loving and thriving community. Jennie had end-stage renal failure. Her family says that Jennie had a very full life and valued everyone she spent time with at Emerson.

A service will be held in Jennie’s honor at church on Sunday, March 30 at 2 PM.

Please feel free to call me or make an appointment if you need to talk. 
Sending love,
Rev. Chloë
