Margie (Marge) Barry was born January 12, 1938, to Albert and Maxine Roelofs in Slayton, MN. She was the 1st of 3 children (younger sister Carol and younger brother Al). She grew up on a farm in Chandler, MN and lived there until graduating high school. Upon graduation, she married Tom Barry who was stationed at Chandler Air Force Station. Twenty six years later, their last AF assignment was at Patrick AFB, Florida. Marge was then employed as cashier at the Patrick Commissary. She was subsequently promoted to head cashier. On October 26, 1992, she suffered a severe stoke, and was retired with a disability pension. Marge and Tom have been faithful members of the Patrick AFB Chapel attending weekly services, and Bible Study groups. As a twenty year member of the Brevard County Stroke Club, she was a continuing inspiration to other stroke survivors. In the commissary, Chapel, Stroke Club, and numerous other acquaintances, lifelong friendships were formed and treasured. Prior to her stroke, she loved and enjoyed fishing and shrimping in the Banana River, she also took up playing, and was soon addicted to the game of golf. She was preceded in death by her parents; her oldest daughter, Patricia Carlson; and her sister, Carol Creson. She is survived by her husband, Tom Barry; son Jim Barry, and daughter Lisa Barry; her grandchildren, Lara Sacheim and husband Wil, Courtney Thomas and husband Bobby, Lindsy Hall, Cassie Hall, Megan Barry, Emily Barry and six great grandchildren.
