With great sadness we are announcing the peaceful passing of Margiella Klawitter (Margie/Marge), (born October 13, 1942) on November 29, 2022. Marge was married to Paul J. Klawitter for 56 years until his passing in 2018. Together they raised 7 children – Paul G.(Clarinda), Linda(David), Eve (Allam), David (Dawn), Terri, John and Scott – at their house in Holland, Ohio. Marge was a truly loving Daughter, Sister, Mother, Aunt, Grandma and Great-Grandma. Their house was always welcoming friends and family with wonderful dinners featuring German foods, kielbasa and/or Pigs in the blanket. +

Marge worked in the food and beverage industry – including The Commodore Perry hotel- and eventually owned and operated the Parkway Lounge on the Anthony Wayne Trail in Maumee. The Lounge soon gained a reputation as “home” to the Ohio State Buckeye Fans for the football games and dinners.

Marge loved her dogs–and currently Mia, who kept her good company. She loved all kinds of music and listened to Gaither’s Gospel Music. She enjoyed many cruises with her husband Paul and a quick trip to Windsor Casino when they were feeling lucky! Marge loved her garden filled with flowers. The empty space left by her departing will never be filled. Margie you will be missed.
