HARRINGTON, Marguerite

Mohave Daily News, Mohave Valley, AZ - Published in Mohave Daily News Online from June 8 to June 15, 2011 - Marguerite Harrington, age 87, a 13-year resident of Bullhead City, completed her journey June 5, 2011, in Bullhead City, Ariz. She was born December 23, 1923 in St Louis, Mo. "Marge or Margie", as she was lovingly called, loved to dance, roller skate and ice skate. She spent a great deal of her youth ice skating in her hometown in Michigan and felt that one of her greatest achievements was skating with Sonja Henie in one of her films. Marge and her late husband, John, spent many hours square dancing, ballroom dancing and roller skating together. Marge also loved to travel, and her trips to Maui were her most favorite. Marge had a passion for gold panning and spent many back-breaking hours happily searching for the elusive "mother load" on California Highway 49. She also loved camping and exploring the desert on her Honda trail bike. Marge was very creative and one of her favorite pastimes was crocheting. She made afghans for each of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Our mother died peacefully at home surrounded by her family. No services pending.
