Margaret Ella Linn Kreissler was born April 24, 1920 to Leonard and Orlena Deutsh (Curran) Linn near Rushing Arkansas. She passed away September 15, 2007 at Ellett Memorial Hospital in Appleton City, Missouri at 87 years of age.
Margie grew up in Blue Mound, Kansas. After graduating from high school she studied to become a registered nurse at General Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. While in training she met her future husband, Lawrence Kreissler. They were married May 22, 1942 and during World War II she worked as a registered nurse at various locations where Lawrence was based. After the war they moved to Twin Falls, Idaho for one year before returning to Appleton City where she lived the remainder of her life. While raising their four children, Margie worked at Ellett Memorial Hospital where she eventually became the Director of Nurses. After a brief retirement Marge returned to the work force as the Medicare Coordinator at Golden Valley Memorial Hospital in Clinton, Missouri.
After once again retiring, Lawrence and Marge enjoyed traveling in their motor home. She was an avid reader and served on the Appleton City Library Board. Margie was an excellent seamstress and quilter and also enjoyed gardening.
She was baptized and confirmed at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Twin Falls, later transferring her membership to Trinity Lutheran Church in Appleton City, where she remained a faithful member serving on the Altar Guild, Lutheran Women's Missionary League and Ladies Aid.
Margie was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Lawrence; one sister, Caroline Capps and one son-in-law Richard Landall. Mourning her death are: one son, Kenny Kreissler and wife Sue of Olathe, Kansas; three daughters, Judy Landall of Appleton City, Missouri, Nancy and husband Eugene Nichols of St. Charles, Missouri and Kristine and husband Ronnie Parks of Appleton City, Missouri; ten grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; one sister, Mary Canady of Wichita, Kansas; a special cousin, Lila DeKlotz of Fresno, California; numerous nieces and nephews.
