They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Mesa Arizona Temple on July 3, 1969. Marge had been told she couldn't have children so when she was blessed with Mike and Matt, her life was complete. Matthew blessed her with three grandchildren; Bradin Ball of Denver, Colorado; Payton Ball of Denver, Colorado and Daxton Ball of St. George, Utah. Marge loved all animals, especially her dogs Kayla and Chewy. Marge has a strong faith and served in many positions in the church. Her favorite calling was Gospel Doctrine Teacher for many years. She ended her service to her faith working in the church library with her dear friend Gay Ann. Marge was an avid crotchetier. Many friends and family have enjoyed the beautiful afghans created by Marge. She is well known amongst her many nieces and nephews as "The Favorite Aunt". Marge is preceded in death by her parents, husband, son Michael, sister Edith.
