Marguerite Fay Crose (Maggie)
Born in South Bend, Indiana, on May 15, 1935
Passed away peacefully on January 15, 2026

Marguerite Fay Crose, lovingly known as Maggie, was the daughter of Zoltan and Florence Zombik. In 1953, Maggie married Corwin “Corky” Crose, and together they raised four daughters: Kim Crose, Lynn Bledsoe, Terri Knapp (and her spouse Robert Knapp), and Tracy Nibert (and her spouse John Nibert). Maggie is survived by her beloved sister, Susie Lent, and was also blessed with five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

After the passing of her husband Corky in 2008, Maggie married Richard Stimpson in 2009, who survives her.

Maggie worked at Continental Can and retired from General Motors in the late 1980s. She was a passionate master gardener, a devoted member of the Three Rivers Garden Club, and a wonderful cook who passed on her cooking skills to all her daughters. She also loved reading, playing cards, camping trips, and square dancing with her husband.
