Marjorie (Sondag) May

WHITEHALL - Marjorie (Sondag) May passed away Tuesday, March 7, 2023 at the age of 101. She was born on November 16, 1921 in Valmeyer, IL to the late Armin and Zoe (Mentel) Sondag. Marge was the most loving mother of 9 children. She worked tirelessly so they had a wonderful childhood. She followed her husband, a career Air Force pilot, to his many postings. Marge was a member of the Air Force Wives Club which she truly enjoyed. She also loved attending the many POW reunions (due to her husband being a POW in WWII). One of her favorite joys was returning to Valmeyer, IL to her parents’ farm. She was very close to her siblings. She is truly missed by her remaining children. We are happy she is with our Lord, family, and friends. In addition to her parents, Marge was preceded in death by her husband, James P. May; sons, Robert and Christopher May; sister, Helen Sondag; brothers, Ted (Pauline) Sondag, Joe (Evelyn) Sondag, and Glenn (Caryl) Sondag; nephew, Pat Sondag.
