Margie Arlene (Thayer) Feuring was born Sept. 4, 1927, in Owasa, Iowa, the daughter of Harry and Edna (Lamb) Thayer. She graduated from Owasa High School, in 1945. After graduating from high school, she worked at Newberry's Five and Dime and Sanitary Dairy in Iowa Falls.

Margie married Rudolph "Rudy" Feuring on April 24, 1946, in Owasa. They started their lives together in southern Iowa. In 1950, they moved to the Hampton-Iowa Falls area, where they farmed with his brother.

Because of the closeness of these two families, Margie became a very special aunt to her four nieces, Jan, Linda, Jeannie and Kathy. In later years, Margie and Rudy lived in Marble Rock. When Rudy passed away in 1978, Margie moved to Clear Lake in 1989 to be closer to her children. In 1992, Margie became a resident of Oakwood Care Center in Clear Lake.

Margie loved to garden and spend time with her family. She was a longtime member of the Methodist Church. She taught Sunday school and held various positions in the WSCS of the Methodist church. She was a 4-H leader for three years while living in Marble Rock.

Margie is survived by nine children: Sharon (John) Fank, Garner, Sandra (Danny) Chappell, Arlington, Texas, Randy (Kym) Feuring, Austin, Minn., Dean Feuring, Floyd, Rick (Nancy) Feuring, Garner, Kevin (Michelle) Feuring, Burt, Karla Ginapp, Clear Lake, Steve (Heidi) Feuring, Mason City, and Craig Feuring, Crystal Lake; 20 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Margie is also survived by her three brothers: Loyd (Jackie) Thayer, Eldora, Roy (Edna) Thayer, Texarkana, Ark., and Lyle (Fern) Thayer, LeGrand; one sister, Mary Ann (Wade) Baago, Clear Lake; two special cousins: Hazel Freeman, Iowa Falls, and Opal Freeman, Mason City; two brothers-in-law and one sister-in-law, Carl (Vi) Couch, Des Moines, and Elmer Feuring, Winterset; and many nieces and nephews.
