        Our little Community will miss our little Marge Seeley who passed on last Saturday at age 87.
        Marge was a “can do” person. She was involved in everything that was Copper Mountain Mesa: the first Saturday Breakfasts, Potlucks, Treasure room, Bingo, USDA Food Distribution, and Marge was a board member and on numerous committees.
        I remember when Marge and I came up with the idea on having potluck on the last Saturday of every month. There were naysayers who said potluck had been done before and failed. Well, with Marge’s touch, we’ve been having potluck now since before the turn of the century and it keeps growing.
        When she wanted to communicate with her Granddaughter Ashley by email, she got her loving husband Bob to buy her a computer and asked me to teach her how to use it. Marge didn’t give the usual excuses that some folks her age give about learning computers; she just did it. And I was happy to teach her. I called her “The Brain” which she got a big kick out of.
        Without Marge Seeley there probably would never have been a Copper Mountain Mesa. It would have been called Pottersville! The "bad" town in "It's a Wonderful Life". That’s what Marge meant to us and our community and why we’ll miss her can do attitude and gentle smile.
        The community will hold a casual memorial at 4 P.M. to remember Marge Seeley during potluck on Saturday the 28th. All are welcome to attend.
