Margie Kirschbaum was born on March 19, 1919, to Robert and Rosa (Gelner) Clark in rural Forest City, Iowa. She attended country school through the eighth grade and lived around the Forest City area all of her life.
On November 23, 1937, she married Cecil Kirschbaum at St. James Catholic Church in Forest City. They celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary in November, 1987. They farmed most of their lives. Margie also worked as a nurses' aid at the Forest City Hospital for several years and dearly loved her job.
She was a member of St. James Catholic Church all of her life. She also belonged to the Senior Citizen Club in Crystal Lake for many years where she played an active role. They had a "Kitchen Band" in which she played the drum. She thoroughly enjoyed participating in that band, and she loved to dance.
In December 1996, the couple moved off their farm to make their home in a condo in Forest City. Margie continued living there after Cecil died until August 2007 when she moved to Apple Valley Assisted Living in Clear Lake and then in September of 2009 to Good Shepherd in Mason City where she resided until her death.
