Meet Margie - an Older Neighbor in Loveland

Save to Favorites

Meet Margie (not her real name). Margie was born in Belgium during WW II and was hidden as a baby. Her parents planned to come back for her, but were captured and died in Auschwitz. She was adopted by a couple in the US and was raised in New York. There she met Barbra Streisand and John Steinbeck growing up. She went to the famous Woodstock music festival in 1969. She married, raised two kids and ended up in Colorado. These days, Margie struggles with remembering things because of a brain disease and is cared for by a family friend at home in Loveland. She is friendly, chatty and active and would like to have more people to visit with.
