The former Marjory Cunningham was born December 22, 1938, to Helen (Yeager) and Earl Cunningham in Moline, Ill. She attended Audubon Elementary School, Washington Junior High School, and Alleman High School in Rock Island. She worked as an orthodontic hygienist before her children were born, and then she was a full-time domestic goddess.
She was united in marriage to Frederick William Attwood on May 30, 1959. Marge and Fred enjoyed traveling the country and spending time with their children, grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Marge was a charter member of The Club, a group of dear friends who met for cards (and then not cards) for decades. She enjoyed reading, working on puzzles, baking weekends, and beating Fred at cribbage.
Surviving are her beloved husband, Fred; children, Laurie (Jeff) Benson, Aledo, Ill., Jeffrey (Sue) Attwood, Murphy, Texas, Dale Attwood, Rock Island, Ill., and Sherry (Douglas) Teggatz, Rock Island, Ill.; grandchildren, Andrew (Megan) Attwood, Avon, Ind., Derek (Jerrica) Attwood, Ballwin, Mo., Bailey Attwood (Brittany), Kaufman, Texas, Chelsea (Tyler) Clark, Bettendorf, Iowa, Corinne (Jim) Banti, Alexandria, Va., Tanner Benson (fiancee Brooke Kitts), Peoria, Ill., Anna (Zachary) Campbell, Moline, Ill., Joshua Teggatz (fiancee Rachel Mueller), St. Louis, Mo., and Erin Teggatz, Rock Island, Ill.; great-grandchildren, Kynlee and Everett Clark, Bettendorf, Iowa; brother, James (Alice) Cunningham, Hart, Mich.; and sister, Mary (Howard) Sand, Moline, Ill. She was preceded by her parents; twin brother, Donald Cunningham; and daughter-in-law, Marie Attwood.
The family wishes to thank all those who helped with Marge's health care over the last four years, especially the staff at Fresenius Kidney Care, Rock Island, and Unity Point Hospice, and caring neighbors who brought food, hugs, and love.
