Marge attended Kansas State University in Manhattan and bled "purple" her entire life.

Marjorie Lena Crow, 89, of Topeka, passed away peacefully Monday, August 31, 2026, in Topeka. She was born August 5, 1937, in Dover, Kansas, the daughter of Louis and Lena Ginter.

Marge attended Dover Grade School and graduated from Dover High School in 1955. She attended Kansas State University in Manhattan and bled "purple" her entire life.

On June 9, 1957, she was united in marriage to Byron W. Crow in Dover. One of the highlights of Marge's life was living in Hawaii for the year Byron was stationed at Pearl Harbor. They returned to Hawaii many times throughout their 69 years together, creating cherished memories along the way.

Marge was a master seamstress her entire life. She made everything from cheerleading uniforms and prom and bridesmaid dresses for Bonnie to leisure suits and Halloween costumes for Kevin and Raegan. She also crocheted, painted ceramics, and was well known for knitting countless, extravagant Christmas stockings. Marge spent many years sewing for Fabrics Unique and Litwin's Clothing Store. She later retired from Blue Cross Blue Shield after 11 years of service as a customer service representative.

Marge was preceded in death by her parents, her son, Kevin Crow; and her brother, Marvin Ginter.
