Margaret "Marge" Giller was described by her son as always happy and a positive influence in everyone’s lives. "She was a very special and courageous lady," said her son, David.

Although her daughter died at a young age and her leg had to be amputated, there was never a day she felt sorry for herself, according to her family.
