Obituary
MONONA-Marjorie M. “Marge” Rundle, age 86, of Monona, passed away on Thursday, Aug. 15, 2019. She was born on May 4, 1933, in Dodgeville, the daughter of Bernard and Bernadette (McCarthy) Conley. Marjorie graduated from Dodgeville High School. She continued her studies at Edgewood College. Marge then married her former classmate, Richard Rundle on Aug. 4, 1955, in their hometown of Dodgeville.
Marge had the gift of making everyone feel at ease, a trait that helped her succeed in sales during her career with Pranges, Younkers and finally Boston Store. She worked for over 30 years and was one of the top salespeople every year.
Marge was always supporting Dick throughout his football coaching career at Monona Grove High School and was a secretary of the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association. Together they were honored by the association by annually awarding the “Dick & Marge Rundle- Excellence in Coaching Award” in their names. A picture of them both, hangs in Lambeau Field, commemorating this award.
Marge will be remembered for her keen sense of humor and kindness to all.
She is survived by three daughters, Anne Christensen, Lori Thompson and Jan Binder; son, Mark (Laurie) Rundle; six grandchildren, Mary Binder, Nick Christensen, Kate Binder, Kali (Lucas) Miller, Angela Thompson and Rachael Thompson; two great-grandchildren, Oakley and Emmett; sisters, Mary McGinnity and Jean Stephens; brother, Bill (Elizabeth) Conley; and sister-in-law, Genevieve Conley. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Richard Rundle; brothers, Denny (Mary) Conley and Pat Conley; and brothers-in-law, Paul McGinnity and Guy Stephens.

Ann, Lori, Jan, Mark, Spouses and Kids, So very sorry for your loss! Such great memories of the Rundle/Klement nights at the Quality Inn and later years when Dick and Marge would invite Kitty and I to their basement bar to hang with them and the Schaefer’s at bar time from Leske’s!! We loved Marge and I’m sure there will be a crowd waiting at Leske’s in heaven!! Tom & Kitty Klement

Ann,Lori ,Jan Mark and family, Thinking of you all at this sad time . I agree with the Klement's so so many memories of your Mother and Dad and the Arrowhead Drive family . We had so much fun , especially when they were out at Leske's or Colonial Inn , but they always knew we were in good hands in the neighborhood. Moving Margie's furniture around when she was out and "Leader of the Pack "routines in her living room are some of my favorite memories of your Mom . Love you all and God bless you.
