Margie was born July 10, 1930 in Oklahoma City, OK, at the Home of
Redeeming Love to Ethel Green (her biological mother), and within a few
months, became the beloved child of Frank Nicholas and Ethel (Story)
Moran. Her early years were spent in Mulhall-Orlando. She then moved to
Perry with her parents to a home near the Christ Lutheran Church, which
she believed was a special blessing. She attended Perry Public Schools
later and graduated from PHS in 1948.
On December 24, 1948, she and Bobby Lee Ewy were united in marriage
in Perry, OK. They celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary in 2016.
Their marriage was blessed with two children, Patty Bible and Mike Ewy,
both of Perry.
Marge began teaching Kindergarten in 1957 at Christ Lutheran School
and continued teaching there for 27 more years. She touched countless
young lives and many students remember her as their “favorite”
Kindergarten teacher. She also served as secretary and bookkeeper for
her husband’s construction company for many years. She was a long-time
member at Christ Lutheran Church. Teaching Sunday School, Vacation Bible
School, and serving with LWML and Unit. She also enjoyed regular “club”
meetings with her friends in the Tuesday Afternoon Club, which sometimes
met on Thursdays.
In 1989, Margie discovered she was not an only child, and was
thrilled to find two brothers and a sister living in California. She was
a dog lover, avid bird watcher, game and card player, crossword puzzle
lover, video poker player, cobolt blue glass collector, and home
entertainer.
She loved to travel and was ready to “go” on a moment’s notice. Her
sharp wit, curiosity, humor and love of family and friend gatherings
will be dearly missed but forever remembered by those who loved her.
She is survived by her husband Bobby Lee “Bob” of the home; daughter,
Patty Bible and husband H.E.; son, Bobby Michael “Mike” Ewy and wife
Carrie, all of Perry, OK; four grandchildren, Stacy Wilson and husband
Bryan, Megan Meyer and husband Jeff, Jessican Freeman and Fiance’ Matt
Kelley, and Jason DeVilbiss and wife Allison; great-grandchildren, Jaden
Oakes, Zoe Freeman, Harper DeVilbiss, and Teaguen, Brylie, and Cami
Wilson; brother, Dwight Trammell of Modesto, CA; sister, Betty Blagg of
Waterford, CA; and very special nieces and nephews on both sides of the
family.
Margie was predeceased by her parents, three brothers, and her fur
babies, Skippy, Missy, Duffer, Tigger, and Keeley.
The family is deeply grateful to all those who helped care for
Margie, especially Dr. Michael Hartwig, the staff at Perry Green Valley,
