Beverage Company, the family business she ran for over 25 years. She gave countless hours to her community working with the Franklin County Community Foundation and was a board member for 10 years. Marge was instrumental in the Foundation's first fund-raising events, including the large galas Picture Perfect which provided matching funds from the Lilly Endowment and the Heritage Ball during Brookville's Bicentennial. She was also a member of St. Michael Catholic Church. Marge was such a loving and caring person who always had a smile on her face, had an authentic encouraging word to all and never met a stranger. On Thursday, March 27, 2025, at the age of eighty-seven she passed away with her loved ones by her side.

Those surviving who will cherish Marge's memory include her husband of over 65 years, David Barrett; sons, Timothy (Kirsten) Barrett, Brian (Michelle) Barrett; daughter, Deborah Barrett, and four grandchildren, David, Rex, Grant and Jade Barrett.
