Margaret Bong

Beloved mother and grandmother, Margaret Bong, affectionately known as Marge, age 76, died on October 21, 2024 at Aspirus Wausau Hospital. Marge was born in Wausau, WI to the late Tony and Clara (McGrecki) Kryshak.

Marge was the heart of her home and family. She raised three children Ricky, Jodi, and Matt, in a happy and loving home to be independent and thoughtful adults. Marge was a grandmother to Abby, Amanda, Saxon, Porsche, Jackson, Kayla, Aliyah, and Amelia, along with many other extended grandchildren. She was the most supportive and loving Grandma, attending all their functions, putting all their needs before her own, and generally spoiling them rotten.

Marge was preceded in death by her daughter Jodi and former husband, Charles.

She loved owning her own daycare and teaching children. She also loved working at Bell Tower where she could connect with many people. Marge also loved decorating for Halloween and passing out candy to children annually.

Marge was known for her kind heart; she only saw the good in everyone. She was the heart and soul of her family and she will be dearly missed.

At Marge’s request, there will not be any services. There will be a celebration of life at a later date.

 A Beautiful Mother-Grandmother by Amy Finley

Your love, your sacrifice, your smile

You left a legacy in even the smallest things

You gave so much of yourself

Loving others unselfishly and unconditionally.

You were a light, a beacon, a fire

Burning bright through the years.

You put your burdens on the shelf

Giving your heart so freely and beautifully.

You brought laughter, learning, and joy

Into moments large and small.

Your heart was your true wealth

A beautiful mother inside and out.
