Margaret “Marge” K. Smeilus age 69 of Lakewood, NJ died on Thursday, August 18, 2011 in Toms River.

Mrs. Smeilus was a Special Education Para Professional for the Wayne Board of Education at the Ryerson School before her retirement in 1997.
She was gifted with a wonderful singing voice and sang in Grammar School, High School Choral Society, as well as in churches.
Erhard and Margaret Smeilus were married for forty-three years in a ‘best friend and loving marriage” together. Marge saw their relationship as a balance of shared strengths and weaknesses that complimented them both in many wonderful ways. Erhard predeceased her in 2004.
The arrival of grandchildren in to her life was a very special highlight and she simply adored them with all of her heart.
Surviving are one daughter Debby Greenberg and her husband Bruce of Butler; one son Paul Smeilus and his wife Debra of Butler; five grandchildren: Jared, Jordan, Marissa, Katie and Ethan.
