In Memory of Marge Westbay By: Matt Mayberry, Director The CSPM staff is celebrating the life of Marjorie Westbay, who passed away on Friday, May 3, at the age of 83. Marge was a volunteer, board member, advisor, and friend. Every aspect of the museum is better for her many years of support and encouragement. Marge pausing for a photo while helping out at Festival of Lights Family Fun Day! She served as a past chair of the City Council appointed Museum Advisory Board and past president of the Friends of the CSPM. She has chaired the program committee and led planning for the Festival of Lights Family Fun Day. She provided leadership and counsel during the 2010 CSPM sustainability planning effort and became a founding member of the resulting board charged with fundraising and governance. She was a founding member of the Clock Tower Society. She volunteered weekly in the museum’s Starsmore Center for Local History. As important as all of her contributions were, she was beloved for her kindness, humor, generosity, and wisdom. Her memory will live on in all of our hearts. In accordance with her family’s wishes, the CSPM is gratefully accepting donations in Marge’s memory. Contributions can be made online at CSPM.org, or mail to the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum.
