It is with a heavy heart that I post this message concerning the death of Margie Bergey wife of longtime SDC, Delaware Vally and Keystone member Dennis Bergey. One of Margie's lifetime goals was to attend an SDC International Meet which she accomplished just three weeks ago in Lancaster. While many of you did not know Margie, those who attended Lancaster and saw Rebecca Mohler Studebajer, will know who she is as she played that role graciously in Lancaster. Margie was an avivd volunteer. Those of us who knew Margie will always remember her as one who had time for others, regardless of her own physical condition. Margie could always be seen at local Studebaker Meets and other car events driving her 1955 President Speedster. For those who are attending her service, we ask that you drive your Studebaker in her memory.
Condolances can be sent to Denny at 622 Race Street, Perkasie, PA 18944.
