Margie Alvarado

Margie (Muñiz) Alvarado, 75, of Toledo, passed away on Thursday, September 19, 2019 at Toledo Hospital.  She was born in Toledo on August 21, 1944 to José and Florencia (Zapata) Muñiz.  Margie spent 58 years married to her loving husband, Gilbert Alvarado, and he survives.  Margie selflessly gave every day of her life.
