Obituary
OREGON - Marge Serna, age 69, of Oregon, passed away on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at Agrace Hospice Care. She was born on November 26, 1956, in Madison, the daughter of Alvin and Claire (Lasher) Joyner.
Marge graduated from Oregon High School in 1975. She remained good friends with many of her classmates and enjoyed planning and attending their reunions. Marge enjoyed spending time on the beaches of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, making cards and jewelry, and shopping at Peaceful Heart.
Marge touched the lives of everyone who had the honor of knowing her. Her selflessness, generosity, and kindness will be remembered forever. Marge loved to talk, to listen, and to share stories, conversations with her were something people cherished.
She helped introduce soccer to the Oregon community alongside her former husband, quickly becoming known as the “original soccer mom” for her hands-on dedication. Marge worked as a property manager for The Gallina Companies, a role that meant a great deal to her. She cared deeply for her co-workers and tenants, and because she lived where she worked, she formed close, meaningful connections with the people around her.
Marge is survived by her son, Phillip Serna; daughter, Andrea Serna (Markus Cobbs); mother, Claire Joyner; brothers, Lee (Diane) Joyner and Brian (Dale) Joyner; sisters, Marlene (Jim) Olson and Marcia Richgels. She was preceded in death by her father, Al. Marge is remembered by many extended family members, friends, and classmates who will deeply miss her. The family wishes to extend a very special thank you to the staff at Agrace’s IPU and Meriter Hospital (11th floor).
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made in Marge’s memory to Gilda’s Club Wisconsin, Agrace, or Oregon Area Food Pantry.
A celebration of life to be planned at a later date. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.
