Marjorie Ann Citta, age 88 of Sutherland, passed away Friday July 28, 2017 at Centennial Park Nursing Home in North Platte.
Marge was born on July 21, 1929 in Omaha, NE to Bernard and Margaret (Simanzik) Dose. She graduated from Bellevue High School. She married Joe Citta on June 5, 1948 at Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Omaha and the couple lived in Bellevue for 40 years where she worked for the Bellevue Public Schools for many years. They moved to Hershey in 1976 where Joe was a shift supervisor at the Gerald Gentleman Station. They moved to Sutherland in 1988 where she was a member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, as well as the Altar Society, American Legion Auxiliary, and was an RSVP volunteer. She loved to knit and crochet, was an excellent cook and baker, enjoyed polka music and dancing and loved her black Labradors and fishing. Marge and Joe are the center of their family and she always had a kind ear for anybody who needed her; she will be dearly missed.
