January 22, 2021
Marg was called to pitch in the 'Big Leagues' on Friday, January 22, 2021 following a brief and sudden battle with pancreatic cancer. She is survived by her two devoted and loving daughters: Susan Metzger and Cindy Clarke (Peter); three beloved grandchildren: Jeff Patterson (Adriana), Kim Lee (Tyler), and Thomas Patterson; three cherished great-grandchildren: Lucas, Margaret and Benjamin.
She is also remembered by her surviving siblings Ken (Marge) Litke, Selma Kirby, Florence Thompson and Jerry Litke (Donna). She was predeceased by her amazing husband Leonard 'Bud' Metzger.
Marg's love for sports helped shape her entire life. She continued to play senior slow pitch and volleyball up until COVID restrictions limited team sports in November.
Marg also had a huge passion and love for our animal friends - particularly rescued and mistreated animals. She always said she needed to speak up for animals as they can't speak for themselves and she demonstrated this belief in her actions. Her adopted cat, Daisy, was her devoted companion for over 15 years, her grand fur-babies were spoiled and loved.
Marg was an incredible woman, daughter, sister, wife, mother, nana, GG and friend to so many who had the absolute honor to know her. She made an incredible mark upon this world and will be greatly missed.
Because of COVID restrictions, a celebration of life will be held at a later date. The complete obituary is available for viewing in the obituary category of castanet.net and on Valleyview Funeral Home's website.
