Shared a photo.

Mrs. Vargas was a wonderful teacher and person! I am very sad to hear of her passing. GOD BLESS!

I remember Mrs. Vargas from 10th grade language arts, and most of high school as yearbook adviser. She also advised my senior project in photography. She knew when to have a 'loose rein' on students. It was much appreciated.

It's wonderful when you sit down to write some memories of a loved one, & God reminds you of another. When I was very little...my Aunt Margie gave my sisters & me terms of endearment. She called me "cutie", with a smile on her face. I remember all the holiday get togethers & time spent at "the cottage". Once again I remember my Aunt Margie's loving smile! And when my wedding came around, she (& her husband, Frederico) were there with big smiles...once again! I remember my Aunt Margie throwing heart shaped (bird safe) rice at my husband & me...all the while with that big, glowing smile on her face. I have many wonderful memories of my Aunt Margie...but the best thing...was her beautiful smile! It exuded the love she always had to give, the loyalty she had to family, & her willingness to give what she could of herself to others. I will always remember her happy, fondly, & with great love! Rest in Peace my dear Aunt Margie! Lovingly, Cheryl (Ladwig) Jakubczak.

Marge Vargas was a wonderful teacher and friend. I was in her 9th grade English class in the Fall of 1975. I hate to admit that I don't remember much about the class. But over the years, Mrs. Vargas served as yearbook advisor and I worked on the staff as a photographer. She also supervised at least 3 semesters of independent study in communications and photography, skills that continue to serve me well over three decades later. She took me under her wing and encouraged me and others. As my friend Lee Potter notes below, she knew when to be involved and when to back off and let a student run with an idea. She was a great lady and we will all miss her. David Chung, NUHS class of 1979
