Margaret "Marge" Mroczek was born February 24, 1939 on the family farm outside of Elyria, NE to Frank and Julia (Sobon) Augustyn. Marge started teaching at the age of 19 and received her teaching degree at Kearney State College.
On July 23, 1960, Marge was united in marriage to Raymond Mroczek on a steamy July day. To this union 5 Children were born. In their early years of marriage, they resided in Loup City one-half mile east of town, then moved to the family farm north of Loup City next to Fisherman's Bridge.
Marge was a member of St. Josephat's Catholic Church in Loup City, NE. She enjoyed being a Lead/Lector and a Eucharistic minister. Her passion was to teach kids from kindergarten to 8th grade in various one room schools in the surrounding area. At the time of her retirement, Marge was a substitute teacher at several local area high schools.
One of Marge's favorite things to do was go Black Friday shopping and talk her granddaughters into taking her to Joann's Fabric to buy several bolts of fabric and fill her car. Marge enjoyed attending her grandchildren's events and activities at school. She was an avid sewer and loved sending dresses she had sewn to Haiti. Her fridge was always stocked with Cuties for her grandchildren.
