Mrs. Dennis was born on November 10, 1932 in Mobeetie to Jack and Mable Wilson.  Margie attended school in Mobeetie, Pampa, and graduated from Borger High School in 1951. She married James Dennis on September 2, 1981 in Lovington, New Mexico.  He preceded her in death on November 12, 2011.  Margie raised her 4 children in Skellytown, where she was a member of First Baptist Church of Skellytown.  Margie loved her family and enjoyed playing with all her grandchildren.  She was known as “Bobbie” to all her grandchildren and their friends. Her family knew when dinner was ready when the smoke alarm went off. Mom loved to work outside in her flowers and generally loved sitting outside in the fresh air. She loved to joke and play around and loved to greet the trick or treaters in her witch’s hat. Margie loved to travel and she always put her foot in every body of water she visited. 

She was preceded in death by twin daughters, Paula and Sheryl Sangster, great granddaughter, Mattie McLarty, and brothers, Jim Wilson and Bill Dale Wilson.
