On June 10, 1939, Marg married Al Chaussee. Marg and Al moved to Bismarck in 1946. In 1953 they moved their family to a new home out in the country on Meadowlark Hill. The Chaussee home was "Grand Central Station" for many relatives and friends. Extra guests would often appear for breakfast and supper, and all were welcomed.
Marg made time for her family, many close friendships, her bridge groups, church activities, managing the BJC Bookstore from 1967 to 1973, the gift shop at Dakota Zoo and later owning and operating the "Little Red House," a consignment craft shop.
Marg touched many with her kindness, gentleness and generosity. She will be greatly missed, as will her melt-in-your-mouth sugar cookies. We are richer for having shared her life.
She is survived by five sons and three daughters-in-law, Dan and Ginnie, Bill, and Jerry and Sue, all of Bismarck, Bob, Auburn, Wash., and Paul and Deb, Lawrence, Kan.; 11 grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and two sisters, Lois Nelson, Bismarck, and Myrtle Adamek, Minneapolis, Minn.
