Peter and Anna met in the United States but immigrated from the same small village now known as Údol, Slovakia to Ellis Island in 1905 and 1910, respectively. Margie was preceded in death by her five sisters, Helen Biss, Mary Yurgaitis, Julia Biss, and twin sisters Olga Olasin and Rose Erazmus. She was also preceded in death by her four brothers; John, Peter, Steven and Joseph.

She later married Leroy Edward Cushman of Poltney, Vermont on September 22, 1971. Roy and Margie lived in St. Petersburg, Florida and then nearby Largo, Florida until Roy’s death in 1975.
Margie is survived by her brother Raymond Biss (Joyce), her son, Joseph, his partner, Corinne, and their children Candice and twins Catherine and Joseph as well as many nieces and nephews.
Margie moved to Newton, North Carolina in 2003 where she lived with her sister, Olga. In 2012, she moved to Trinity Village in Hickory, North Carolina. The family is grateful for the kind and caring staff at Trinity Village and her niece JoAnn Veith who provided constant support.
