For many years, Margie served as a Home Health Nurse, working with families at various stages of the death and dying process. She undertook an in-depth course of study regarding care of the dying, discovered hospice principles, and began using them in her work - long before Hospice came to the United States. These valuable principles inevitably brought an increased sense of peace to her terminally ill patients and their families. (Naturally, when Hospice became an insurance benefit in the United States, Margie was delighted to facilitate Hospice licensure for two home health agencies.)
