Margie grew up in the Sioux City area and graduated from Leeds High School. Margie told stories of being a waitress and working at the Pinkertons investigations company as a secretary but she had a few cases she worked. Mindy remembers her mom telling about the time as a young woman she bought a bus ticket for across the country. She was able to stop and stay along the journey so she got odd jobs and lived with room mates in different cities along the way through her adventure. There are many stories of family, love and a very short modeling career. In her late twenties Margie met Eddie Reznicek and they fell in love and were married at Saint Cecilia's Cathedral on November 12th 1970 in Omaha Nebraska. 

Eddie and Margie moved to Fremont Nebraska were Eddie worked in an abstracting business and in July of 1973 Margie became the mother of Chad Edward Reznicek. That became the beginning of her career as a loving and dedicated mother. When Chad was young she became involved in the Christian women's club in Fremont and met Steve and Mindy Peterson. Margie was searching for answers and she found THE answer, her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Margie loved the Lord and loved others. In 1977, Mindy Faith was born and her family was complete. 

Margie was a faithful & loving wife, supporting her husband Eddie and helping him over the years in his many business adventures. She wore many hats beyond just a homemaker but she was proud to be a homemaker, mother and wife. She was very active in ministry and volunteering at Church and other Christian organizations. Everyone whose life she touched would have felt her joy over her Lord and Savior, would have known her love for people and her zest for life. Margie leaves behind a legacy of Faithfulness to God.
