Her longtime friend and companion Rose Long was with her throughout this difficult process and was with her to the end. Marge was born 9/11/1928 daughter of William & Mary (Walsh) Condon. 'Mary Marge' was raised in Des Moines and obtained her undergraduate degree at Drake University in Iowa. She graduated cum laude from UW Madison with a Master's Degree in Library Science. While in Madison, a sorority housemother set her up on a blind date with Jack Curtin, a young attorney. Marge and Jack married Oct 24th, 1955. They settled in Algoma where Jack established his law practice. Marge commuted to work with the Neville Public Library in Green Bay.
