Margaret Luella Thompson was born on Dec. 19, 1922, in Knoxville, Tenn., to Edd and Pearl (nee Lawson) Thompson. As a young girl, her family moved to California where she was raised and received her education. After graduating from high school, Marge worked in a factory building airplanes for the war. She married Peter P. Bogdonovich on Sept. 27, 1942, in San Bernardino, Calif. In 1947, they moved to Willard and took over the Bogdonovich family farm for Pete’s father. They farmed together in Willard until her husband’s death on Sept. 20, 1981. Marge then moved into Greenwood and sold the farm. She resided in Greenwood until the time of her death. She was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and the Greenwood American Legion Auxiliary. Marge had many interests, but especially enjoyed being with her family, playing bingo, going to the casino, going out for morning coffee, traveling, and going to Nashville for Fan Fair.
