In Margie’s first marriage, she lost a beautiful baby girl named Gloria. Then she met Bill Sublett while he was in the Navy, and married him on October 6, 1945. They had one child, Mike Sublett, in December of 1949. Margie’s happiest years were always in Pampa, beginning in 1952. The Subletts were members of Mary Ellen and Harvester Church of Christ from 1955 until they moved to Louisina in 1970. Margie and Bill spent over 20 years in Louisiana before moving to Runaway Bay, Texas in the late 1980’s. They were married 64 years before Bill passed away on August 30, 2010. Margie moved back to Pampa in 1998 where she lived up until the time of her death.
