Margaret (Marge) "Red" Van Landghen, Little Chute, age 75, died Wednesday, August 10, 2016 at ThedaClark Regional Medical Center in Appleton. She was born in Milwaukee on September 1, 1940, the daughter of the late George and Mildred Seeliger. Red met the love of her life, Bruce, in 2nd grade and they have been happily together ever since. They married on October 1, 1959. When she first married Van, she was a nurse's aide at St. Elizabeth Hospital. After having Lori and Mark, she soon became a stay at home mom.
Margaret took pride in her home and making sure it was spotless. She was happy by nature and loved to make others laugh. Red also enjoyed yard work and watching the birds that ate from one of her countless feeders. She loved Snowball, her beloved cat. Marge was like a pistol, so you didn't want to mess with her.
