Margie Jean Farley(Lintz)

Margie Jean (Lintz) Farley (January 31, 1940 - April 15, 2025) was the oldest of 5 children born to Raymond and Ruth Lintz of Tecumseh Nebraska. Her mother was unable to get to town due to a bad snowstorm, so the doctor arrived at the family farm on a snowplow to bring her into the world.  She met the love of her life, Charles, early in high school and never turned back. They married shortly after she graduated high school and moved to Limon, CO to start their new life and family. 

In 1972 they left Limon to live in Colorado Springs and then a year later to Casper, WY. Once the kids were all in school Margie started working in fabric stores to keep busy. First in Colorado Springs and then as the manager of Marilyn’s Fabrics in Casper for many years where she began showcasing her skill in sewing that she first learned in 4H and working in a sewing factory before marriage. In the mid 80’s Charles and Margie moved back to Colorado where she ended up working at a bridal store in Colorado Springs and her true talent in bridal alterations was developed. In the early 90’s they moved to Glenrock, WY and wintering in Mesa, AZ to be closer to their family and grandchildren. Margie found work altering wedding gowns, prom dresses, and clothing working independently as well as with several bridal shops. Hundreds of brides in CO and WY showcased her talent on their wedding days and proms over the years, including her daughters and daughters-in-law. You could rarely find her without a sewing project in hand through the years, and if you did, she was most likely cooking for her large family and friends. In addition to sewing, she loved sports (especially her beloved Bronco’s), flowers and soaking up the sunshine wherever she could find it. She loved a good practical joke and had an infectious laugh. She always felt it was her duty to serve those around her and had difficulty allowing others to serve her. They say Mother’s Love had no bounds and this was especially true of Margie, she loved her family deeply. 

She was a friend to many and a doting wife, caring mother, and a loving grandmother and great- grandmother. She raised 6 children- Duane (Debra), Sharon (Daniel), Janice (Daniel), Cheryl (Bruce), Kenneth (Margaret), and Randal (Traci). Her pride in the later years was her 15 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren with one more to arrive shortly. She never tired hearing about their accomplishments and doings, and she was proud of each and every one of them. In addition, she had many nieces, nephews, and “adopted” grandchildren that came into her life that she cherished.

Margie is survived by her much-loved younger sisters Esther, Dorothy and Beverly, in addition to brother-in-law George (Pat) and sisters-in-law Sharon, Marjorie and Betty. She is preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Ruth Lintz, her husband Charles, and her beloved brother, Anton, sisters-in-law: Mary Jo and Margaret and brothers-in-law: Donald, Hugh, Victor, Ronald, Gordon and Eldon. 

Rosary will be held on Friday, June 6 at 6:00 pm and Mass will be at noon on Saturday, June 7 at St. Louis Catholic Church 601 S Fifth Street Glenrock, WY, with a reception at the church following the service.

The family extends their warmest appreciation for all the love for Margie and the compassion demonstrated to each of us.  She will be missed but will always be in our hearts.
