Margie Green Passes Away at the Age of 91

Posted on Author Anita Goodan
Margie Green

The widow of Starke County’s longest-serving mailman passed away over the weekend.

Margie Green died Saturday at the age of 91.  The Knox Post Office was named for her late husband, Grant Green, who served as a Knox mailman for 50 years prior to his retirement in 1970.

Margie had conducted a Kindergarten in her home before the public schools offered such a program, then started the Knox Kindergarten program under Superintendent Ralph Harbison.

After retiring from the Knox Schools, she started a new career at the age of 70 as the Starke County Voter Registration Officer for which she was named Indiana Voter Registration Official of the Year in 2005.
