Marge was born April 13, 1921 in Bears Grass, Wisconsin, the oldest child born to Theodore Bloch and Myrtle Terry. She had one brother, Walter. She and her father had a close relationship and Theodore was a guiding light for Marge. As a young girl she learned to play the accordion and always loved playing the accordion and enjoyed accordion music. She married Victor Sieg on November 26, 1942 in Augusta, Wisconsin and from that marriage they had four children–James, Faye Ann, David and Rodney. That marriage, after 25 years, ended in divorce. She married Leonard Lucas on May 12, 1973 at Trinity Church in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She and Leonard were avid members of the Eagles Club in South Milwaukee. Marge was also a strong supporter of the Am Vets and took pleasure in selling the poppies as a fund-raiser. After Leonard retired, they moved to Buffalo City, Wisconsin on the banks of the Mississippi River where they enjoyed fishing and garage sales. Both Marge and Leonard became fervent members of the VFW in Buffalo City. At the VFW, Marge enjoyed tremendous luck with the scratch-off tickets and was always a winner. In 2004, Marge and Leonard moved to Valley City, North Dakota. They again become members of the VFW. They enjoyed having dinner at the VFW every Saturday–hamburgers, fries, and ice cream. When they moved to the nursing home in Valley City, Tom Martin, the manager of the VFW club, would deliver their meal every Saturday. Leonard preceded her in death on October 5, 2013 after a long battle with cancer. Leonard was buried with full military honors at Mandan, North Dakota.
Marge is survived by four children, 8 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren. 7 great-great grandchildren and countless friends.
A Christmas eve tradition for Marge was to ride through town so she could enjoy all the Christmas lights. Even in her last Christmas, the tradition stayed strong as her son Rodney took her through town to see the lights.
