Margie Kay McAleer
Margie Kay McAleer, 63, passed away on February 11, 2022. She was born February 3, 1959, in Pineville, Louisiana, to Lillian and Willie Dubriel, Sr. She was a graduate of Rapides High School in 1977 and received her Associate in nursing at Louisiana State University in 1979. She began her nursing career at Rapides in Alexandria, Louisiana, and then to Saint Patricks in Lake Charles, Louisiana before coming to Beaumont, Texas, with her sister Debbie Ramirez. In Beaumont she worked at Saint Elizabeth’s in the surgery and neonatal ICU unit and then became a nurse auditor for different companies in Texas and Louisiana for 15 years.

I just read about Margie’s passing in the church bulletin. I’m so sorry for your loss. She was such a kind woman with a beautiful heart.
My heart is heavy, I just recently heard of Margie’s passing. I met her through her nurse auditing. She was such a special lady! And immediately became my friend. My prayers are offered up for Mike and family, she is at peace now and will be greatly missed…

Coach my condolences to you and your family. May your lovely wife rest in peace.
Condolences to Margie and her family. I remember when Mike and Margie first met on the volleyball court in the church league. The many family gatherings we had in those years were always very special. We live far apart now but our memories will always be very special in our heart.
Prayers and condolences to Margie’s family. I worked with Margie the last few years and we will all miss her kindness, her integrity and her warm ways. She will be missed and remembered.
Oh Margie, your friendship has been a special gift to me for many years. Miles kept us apart, but the phone kept us connected. Thoughts and prayers for you, Mike, and family. Oh I miss you immensely. You will forever be in my heart! Rest in peace my dear friend
