Dear Marge,
You are loved, honored, cherished and remembered in the hearts of the countless lives you have touched, especially those of your children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren through the values you instilled by simply living your life.

Please accept our most sincere condolences in the loss of Roy and Marge. Two of the kindest people to have known. Roy was such a gentleman. Never heard a negative or unkind word come from his mouth. Marge was such a sweetheart a little feisty at times however she had the passion of love for all. Even though they move from the area, they always kept in touch. We will miss them. Will always have great memories that we will cherish. God Bless and may God continue to bless your family.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Marge. My Mom and Dad as well as myself always had a special place in our lives for the Santmyer family. We met the Santmyer family through the Government Printing Office where both our Dad's worked. The Santmyers had four kids while our family had three with all the children basically around the same age so it always seemed to be a comfortable fit for both families. I can still hear Marge say "Oh David" (my name) with a smile on her face when she pretended to disapprove of something I may have kidded her about. I can still remember her laugh after all these decades. Marge was a sweet, caring person and I always enjoyed her company. I remember some of the summer golf vacations both families took in conjunction through our Dad's work golf organizations they belonged to. I had the pleasure of bowling on the same team with both Roy and Marge on the Monday morning bowling league when my Dad, Roy, and myself all worked the night shift at GPO. Great fun! Marge will be missed. My deepest condolences to the family. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Mom Santmyer,
I truly miss Mom, her wittiness, her smile, and her mischievous look and at times her stern look.
Mom was always one to say what she meant and mean exactly what she said.
I will remember all the good times with Mom.
Mom had a heart of gold she did everything for everybody, like making dish cloths when her hands would hardly go, making plastic canvas Christmas ornaments and most of all keeping her children straight and me straight.
And I can never forget, every year Pop & Mom would get me a Geranium, theirs were always beautiful, however knowing I did not have a green thumb she would remind me *don’t touch that plant you will kill it, I will take care of it* that was mom. We would have a flower sale at the Fire company each year and all of the ladies’ auxiliary members would always say * your little neighbors are coming this year aren’t they* they enjoyed them so much. The were saddened when I had to share the news with them that Mom and Pop had passed. I truly miss my visits with her when she was my neighbor and my conversations with her on the phone after they moved.
I am praying all will be well and that her children will feel Jesus’ presence upon them each and every day. Love Vanessa
Smiling Faces outreached arms to give you a “hello” hug. This will be memory of these two nice people- Marge and Roy Santmyer. God bless both of you.

Dear Cousins,
I will miss talking to your Mom and Dad by phone as we did a couple times a year.
They were so caring to me when I lost my son Justin. They were truly two of the most caring and kindest people on earth. How blessed you all are to have had such wonderful examples of what the word LOVE and KIND mean. BE open to the most amazing signs they will send you. I'm hoping to get one too ;-)
Love Mary Broglie ( Champ )
Sarah and family, so sorry to hear about your loss(s). I know how hard it is to loose a family member. Take care, Denise Rodgers
What a sweetie pie! I worked in X-ray at Beebe and she and Roy were our volunteers! I loved them both very much! I have many many homemade things in my home from her- love and hugs to the family! We were lucky to have her in our life too- thanks for sharing her with us! Emilie Crosser
