They took up square dancing and down hill skiing, as well as golf many years ago. They not only skied in New York, but also in Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Canada, Austria, Italy and France. They have memories of several anniversary cruises as well. They spent many years living in different locations while Waldo served a career in the Air Force. Marguerite loved doing many craft projects as well as playing cards, working puzzles and being outside whenever weather permitted. She was a devoted care giver to Waldo and her sister, Lucille. Marguerite is predeceased by her parents, Converse and Naomi Heath; sister, Patricia Heath and brothers, Preston "Buddy" Heath and Winston Dale "Buzz" Heath; as well as in-laws George and Mae Burlingame and brother-in-law, Marvin "Marve" Blunck.
