Feb. 20, 1934-May 30, 2023

Margretha “Marge” Lee Cotten Capuano was born Feb. 20, 1934, to Lois Brewster and Lee Cotten in Long Beach, California. She joined her sister Louise Maxine in the family, and later, a brother Harvey Allen Wilson was born. Maxine and Marge found common ground when they became big sisters. They worked hard together teaching Allen how to tie his shoes, ride a bike and get beyond his “baby talk” to communicate with his big sisters.

Marge married at an early age, having three children: Debbie Grijalva, Donald Nixon and David Bryenton (preceded her in death in 2010). She raised her babies as a single mother while working at the American Automobile Association in Van Nuys, California, for more than 30 years.

In 1977, Marge met “a wonderful man” — Robert “Bob” Capuano. They married in Las Vegas in 1979 at Wee Kirk Wedding Chapel. They bought their dream home in Ivins, Utah, in 1995 where they lived happily and comfortably until Bob passed away in 2021.

Marge passed away on May 30, 2023, in St. George, Utah. She was a resident of Spring Gardens Assisted Living Center where she spent the last five months of her life in joy and comfort. We are thankful for their kindness and compassionate care at Spring Gardens.
