Marjory Ann Muntz

September 1, 1949 - April 1, 2022

Marjory “Margie” Ann Muntz, age 72, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, April 1, 2022. She was born on September 1, 1949 in Iron Mountain, MI and was the daughter of Major James & Rita Whiting. She graduated from Santa Rosa Junior College, Petaluma, CA with a certificate as a legal secretary. On April 22, 1971, Margie married Al “Rick” Muntz. They spent just shy of 51 years of marriage together. They started their life in the Upper Peninsula, shortly after their marriage, proudly raising their 3 girls. Together they enjoyed camping the state parks and having family get-togethers, where Margie would spend all day whipping up as much food as the counter could hold. Margie was a wonderful cook and loved to show how much she cared for you through her food. Some of Margie’s other loves were quilting - many made for her friends and family. Before her eyesight got bad, Margie was a true bookworm, mysteries being her favorite - though she had to read the ending first! Margie worked for many years at K-Mart and then the Iron Mountain Kingsford Community Federal Credit Union before leaving to care for her parents until their passing. Her greatest love was for her grandkids - it is true to say her one true calling was being a grandma. Margie will be deeply missed by her husband of 50 years, Rick, her three children - Theresa (Tom) Westman, Laura Muntz, Stephanie (Mike) Covitz. Five grandchildren - Sara Westman, Tommy (Kristen) Westman, Michael, Grace & Peter Covitz and one great-grandchild, Wyatt Westman. In addition to her parents, Margie was preceded in death by her brother, Robert Whiting and an infant grandson, Noah Covitz. Margie’s family would like to extend their thanks to Dickinson Home Health for the support and care provided to Margie during her last months of life. Thanks also to Dr. Anderson and George Wuensch, PA-C. Visitation will be at Redemption Hill Church in Kingsford, MI on Thursday, April 7, 2022 from 9-11 a.m. Funeral service to follow at 11 a.m. Private graveside service to follow at Cemetery Park at a later date. Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms, if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also - John 14:1-3 Condolences to the family of Marjory A. Muntz may be expressed online at ernashfuneralhomes.com. The family has entrusted Erickson-Rochon & Nash Funeral Home of Iron Mountain with the funeral arrangements.
