Margaret Mary “Marge” Fague
Margaret Mary “Marge” Fague (Scheibelhut), 84, of Rochester, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 30, 2025, at Olmsted Medical Center Hospital.
Marge was born on January 27, 1941, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Anthony and Catherine “Hazel” Scheibelhut. After graduating from Laboure High School in 1958, she married the love of her life, Timothy L. Fague, on March 17, 1962, at St. Louise de Marillac Church in Jennings, Missouri. In March of 1977, the couple made Rochester, Minnesota, their home when Tim was transferred by IBM.
Marge had a remarkable gift for connecting with people. She embraced everyone with open arms and a non-judgmental spirit, always ready to share a laugh over a board game or a lively round of cards. Her greatest joy and pride were her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and she loved sharing stories about their lives.
She is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband, Tim Fague; her children, Lisa (Russ “Todd”) Stierlen, Jeffrey (Linnea Archer) Fague, Carrie (Craig) Havlicek, and Barb (Frank) Sherrick; her 13 cherished grandchildren; and her 7 beloved great-grandchildren. Marge was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Tom Scheibelhut.
A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, June 6, 2025, at the Church of the Resurrection. A Rosary will be recited at 9:30 AM, and visitation will take place one hour prior to the service at the church. Marge will be interred at a later date at Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery in Preston, Minnesota.

The family of Margaret Mary “Marge” Fague has received the following condolences.
Barb and Marge’s family
i was so sorry to learn of Marge’s passing. I met Marge the first time when I began teaching at St. Francis and you were in my class. Patty B. Your mom and I had many good laughs together. I remember they gifted me with a rolling pin and I was suppose to make them a pie. Needless to say I never got that pie made.
Your mom was a special lady. May God bless her. Now her and Patty B are together laughing up a storm.
RIP Marge
Carrie, we are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your mom. May you find comfort in the cherished memories you shared.
I got to meet Marge a couple years ago.
Marge was a mahjong player, and I was one of the lucky ones to play with her.
I loved her dearly.
Marge had such a beautiful laugh, her outlook on life was so amazing. I loved getting her hugs.
Marge rest in peace now, your home. Resting in God's hands.
Prayers to your family

I'm truly heartbroken to hear of Mrs. Fague's passing. It's been well over 50 years years since we were neighbors, but Mrs. Fagues kindness made an everlasting impression. She mothered all of the neighborhood children. Always making sure we were well cared for.
My heart aches for the entire family. I'll be keeping you in my prayers during this difficult time.
