Frankfort Date line Marjorie (Margie) Gladys Upson July 10, 1954-October 22, 2009 Margie died in her sleep at her home in Frankfort Thursday morning after a respiratory illness. She was 55. She lived with her sister and niece in Frankfort. Margie was a person with special needs which were met by everyone who knew her. The doctor told her mother she probably would not live past the age of 9 years, but because of her mother's love and affection Margie proved the doctor wrong. Margie attended the ARC in Herkimer since her mother's passing and enjoyed being a part of the community, whom we wish to thank for all their help, compassion and making Margie feel welcome. We also need to thank Dr. Booth who always told us to "give Margie whatever she wants" as long as she's happy. We would also like to thank Lennox Brothers Pharmacy for all their help, David Galer from UCP, and Cathy Malloy from DSO, Sharon Lille and Ashley Kelly from DSO and Ellen and Becky for the Herkimer ARC. They have been a tremendous help. Margie enjoyed life. She had a great sense of humor, looking forward to visits with friends and family, and was an avid soap opera fan, loved "stiching" and had a knack for bringing a smile to every ones face. She also enjoyed watching Walker, Baywatch, Knight Rider , Days of Our Lives and Lawrence Welk every Saturday night and her "Kentucky Fried Chicken Saturday lunch. Margie was a member of Our Lady Queen of Apostles Church in Frankfort, and a member of the Fat Lady's Club.
