Marge was a graduate of Attleboro High School and worked for more than twenty-five years as a Payroll Manager for LeachGarner in Attleboro, before retiring in 1987.
An elegant woman who always looked her best, Marge was a woman of great faith. She was a member of Evangelical Covenant Church in Attleboro for more than thirty years, and was actively involved in her church and in her community. Marge was a longtime member and a Past Matron of Angle Stone Chapter 118 Order of the Eastern Star, the Past Matrons Friendly, the Red Hat Society of Attleboro, the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, the PEAL Club of Attleboro, and the North Attleboro Advisory Board. She was the recipient of The Grand Cross of Color, International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, and volunteered her time and efforts at Sturdy Memorial Hospital, at Pilgrim Pines Christian Camp in New Hampshire, and with her late husband. Marge loved to shop, especially at the mall; travel, spending summers each year in Bermuda; and listen to Big Band music.  She held a special place in her heart for animals, especially cats and dogs.  More than anything, Marge loved being with her beloved family.
Marge was the loving mother of the late Cheryl Lee (Welton) Galarneau who died on May 28, 2008, and her husband, Oliver J. Galarneau Jr., of Attleboro, MA.  She was the adoring grandmother of Todd O.
