Margie was born in Glendive, Montana, to Kathryn (Wyse) and George Haggerty of Mink, Montana (North of Lindsay), on December 14, 1940. They moved to a farm "up on the divide", toward Circle, when she was a child. They farmed and raised cattle. Margie went to High-Point school through the 8th grade. She went to high school in Glendive, graduating from DCHS in 1959. Margie started working at Mountain Bell as a telephone operator in 1960. She loved it! She stayed there for 22 years. In 1966, she met and married her soul-mate, Raymond Sell. He was also from the Lindsay area. Their marriage really did last "until death do us part", as they were married for 32 years. Their wedding date was April 16, 1966. They made a life together on Ray's family farm near Lindsay. On Margie's 26th birthday, she gave birth to their 1st child, a daughter, Kymberley DeArlyn. A year later, she gave birth to a 2nd child, a son, Shannon DeLane. Margie continued to work at Mountain Bell, in addition to raising kids, and helping at the farm. Margie was the main combine operator for many years, as Ray drove the grain truck. In 1982, Mountain Bell moved all of their telephone operators to Billings, she chose to stay in Lindsay and Glendive. A few years later, she started working at Mid-Rivers Telephone Company. She stayed until her retirement on January 3, 2003. She had worked there for more than 12 years. On March 12, 1998, she lost her husband, Ray, to a massive heart attack. Things would never be the same... In 2000, her youngest granddaughter, Rayne, was born. Margie was especially close to her. Their relationship gave her purpose again. Margie retired from her part-time jobs completely in 2011. In these next years, she was troubled by health issues, always bouncing back ... until this last time. Margie died at half-past noon, on Thursday June 23, 2022. She went to be with the Lord, holding her daughter's hand, and in the presence of her granddaughter, Rayne. She will be greatly missed. Margie loved babies, going out for coffee with friends, talking to anyone!, crocheting, and watching her "soap", The Young and the Restless. She was a good woman, always strong and independent. She loved Ray, their kids, her 4 grandkids, and 5 great-grand kids. Margie was preceded in death by her husband, Ray, in 1998; her son, Shannon, in 2020; her mother in 2010; her father in 1984; and her brother, Joe Haggerty, in 2020.
