Teresa (Marge) Langston

Marge was born January 31, 1934, in St Johns, Newfoundland and passed away peacefully at her home in Savannah, Friday, April 26, 2024, surrounded by family who loved her dearly.

She was affectionally known by many names – Teresa, Marge, Mom, Gigi, Grand-Marge, Marg.

Marge married the love of her life, Mason Lee Langston MSGT USAF at Pepperrell Air Force Base on March 17, 1954, and they had five children. She was widowed at the young age of 36 while living in Fairbanks, Alaska. She moved back to Savannah, GA where she devoted herself to providing for and raising her five children who were ages 4 – 13 at the time.

She worked at Hunter AAF in various positions at the Golf Course, Skeet Range, Bowling Alley and Recreation Center where she had the joy of arranging travel for military families to Disney and other exciting destinations. After she retired from Hunter AAF, she started a new career with Radio Reading for the Blind where she managed volunteers reading newspapers over special radios given to the blind. In her spare time, she volunteered at the Mighty Eighth Airforce Museum.

All who knew Marge felt the love she had for everyone. Anyone who walked through her door was considered family. Her home was always the gathering place for her children and all their friends. The welcome mat was always at the door.
