Marguerite Hargus, 86, of Normal, passed away Thursday, December 22, 2022 at Sugar Creek Alzheimer's Special Care Center, Normal. She was born January 8, 1936 In Luxembourg, the daughter of Joseph and Anne Herzig Loutsch.

Marguerite immigrated to the United States in 1957, working at a publishing house in the Chicagoland suburbs. As her family grew, she became a stay-at-home mom while working evenings as a waitress to support her family. She loved being outdoors, tending to her garden, feeding the neighborhood squirrels, and relaxing on her patio. Eventually relocating to central Illinois she cherished the times she spent with her grandchildren, making them smile and building memories that will last their lifetime. The family would like to thank the staff at Sugar Creek Alzheimer's Special Care Center and Transitions Hospice for all their care and support of Marguerite and her family.
