Margie Mae Casteel

Margie Mae Casteel, 102, of Silverton, Idaho, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother many times over passed away peacefully on January 26, 2024, at Silverton Health and Rehabilitation of Cascadia where she had been a resident for several years. 

Margie was born on July 19, 1921, in Elk Garden, Virginia and was the daughter of Tom Fogleman and Mary Robinson Fogleman. She married her husband, Charlie Casteel, on October 21, 1940, in Kentucky. The couple moved to Silver Valley, Idaho in 1957, where Margie has lived ever since. 

During her adulthood, she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) for many years at the same Silverton nursing home in which she peacefully passed. Her caring nature and commitment to serving her community were always present. Margie was also an active member of the Shoshone County Democratic Committee.

Margie enjoyed drawing, reading, solving crossword puzzles, gardening, and searching for treasures at garage sales. She also loved her “shows” on television, her favorite being The Guiding Light. To her family and those around her, she was genuinely enthralled by the beauty of life – her smiles, giggles, and twinkling eyes will remain in our memories forever. 

She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Charlie, her sons Charles (Larry) and Tommy, and her daughter, Judy. 

Survivors include her daughter-in-law Sharon Casteel, eight grandchildren, and numerous great- and great-great-grandchildren. 

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, March 2, 2024, 11:00 AM at Shoshone Funeral Services at 106 S. Main St., Kellogg, Idaho.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Silverton Health and Rehabilitation of Cascadia, a place that brought much joy, solace, and companionship to Margie throughout her life, to provide them with crafts and entertainment for their current residents.
