The former Marjorie Ruth Salsberry was born January 23, 1940, in Glenwood, Missouri, the daughter of Harold and Freedom Rosalie (Pickens) Salsberry. She married Robert Grimes on June 12, 1959, in Glenwood. He died June 20, 2010.

Marge and Bob were longtime residents of Eldridge, Iowa, where she was a well-known and loved Crossing Guard for many years. She also worked at West Kimberly Market. She lived with her daughter, Kimmie, after Bob passed away, and loved birdwatching from the front porch. She was an avid NASCAR, Iowa Hawkeyes, and Cincinnati Reds fan. Above all else, family was the most important thing to Marge, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She is survived by four children and their spouses, Cherri Grimes of Davenport, Kimmie and Dave Underwood of Long Grove, Patty and Chris Volz, and Rob Jr. and Faye Grimes, all of Cincinnati, Ohio; grandchildren, David and Rebekah Underwood, Luke Underwood, Karah and Lars Rehnberg, Jacob and Jamie Grimes, Brennan Grimes and Marie Reisen, Madison and Danny Gordon, Brody Grimes, Rebecca Williams, Rob Volz and Dustin Chandler, and Steph Volz and Josh Mattar; five great-grandchildren; a sister, Georgia Matthew of Cincinnati; and many beloved in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, and their families. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Bob Grimes, Sr.; and a great-grandson, Theodore Greyson Grimes.
