Margaret Ann "Margie" Lane

Margaret Ann Lane "Margie", 84, passed away July 23, 2024 surrounded by her family after a four year battle with Alzehimers. Waiting for her in heaven was her loving husband of 58 years, John; her parents, Pete and Mary Maurello; sisters, Joan Venuto and Theresa Aronson; and her loving in-laws that preceded her, Bill and Beatrice Lane, Bill, Bob, Jim, Charles; and sister, Margaret Ann. Left to honor her memory are her four children, John (Kathy) Lane, Lisa (Bruce) Runyan, Joe (Wendi) Lane, and Kate (Mike) Runyan; Also left to carry on Margie’s legacy are her six grandchildren, Nicole (Jonathan) Roessler, Jeff (Natalia) Runyan, John (Em) Lane, Emily (Dylon) Ortiz, Madison (Devin) Martin, and Lexie Lane. She is survived by her brother-in-laws Tony Venuto and Carl Aronson. She also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Margie was a proud 1957 graduate of Pueblo Catholic High. She loved her time being a Shamrock cheerleader and would never hesitate to belt out the PCHS school song on a moment's notice to her family long into her elder years! Dad would always say that he “chased that woman” for three years after graduation until she finally agreed to marry him. Margie was a devoted catholic, wife, mother, grandma, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend to all who knew her. She had the most contagious laugh and could light up a room in the blink of an eye. To her children she was a symphony of instruments. She was everything from the loving flute sound to the roar of the tuba when she was mad. Mom was always there for us as we navigated the challenges and successes of life. She was truly our rock! Her life’s work is demonstrated by the close bond that her children share, the amazing meals and parties that she put on, and how everyone felt welcomed and loved in her home. While Margie loved being a mom, she took the most pride in being a grandma. She loved each of her grandchildren unconditionally and worked to create lasting memories that they can cherish forever. Margie never forgot birthdays and was always there to support her grandchildren whether it was for sports, a school award, or just to give us a big hug and a laugh. She also had an adventurous side and would never turn down a chance to go to Italy, Vegas, Mexico, or anywhere else with either a casino or a beach. Margie would always say, “Let’s get out of Dodge!” Mom’s personality was a bright light that not even Alzheimers could put out. Throughout her struggles, her personality still shined through! Our family will be forever grateful to the staff at The Chateau at Sharmar Village Memory Care and Abode Hospice for loving our mama and taking such good care of her. Eulogy followed by Funeral Mass will be Friday, August 2, 9:45 a.m. St. Joseph Church. Inturnment to follow at Roselawn Cemetery. Reception for our beloved Mom to follow.
