Margie Ann Legleiter, 71, Hays, died Thursday, May 8, 2025 at Via Christi Village.
She was born December 11, 1953 in Hays, the daughter of Julius and Mary Rose (Dreher) Legleiter. She graduated from Marian High School in 1972 and earned Hotel-Motel Management certification from LaSalle University. She greatly enjoyed working in the hospitality industry and excelled in it. She loved serving people and working side-by-side with her family for 35 years at Midway Motel, and then working as a desk clerk at Hays Super8 for 15 years, retiring in 2022. Margie also took on the daunting task of being a caregiver for two brothers with special needs, especially after her father’s passing. She enjoyed short road trips, her convertible car, an occasional glass of wine, and generously helping anyone in need. Margie possessed a deeply devout Catholic faith, was a member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, regularly watched EWTN, and was godmother to many nieces. Margie’s list of accomplishments in life were endless, her shoes will never be filled, and she will be greatly missed. May perpetual light shine upon her and may she rest in peace.
Survivors include her brothers, Bill Legleiter, Dan Legleiter, Roger Legleiter, Tim Legleiter and wife Rita, Marty Legleiter, and Eric Legleiter, all of Hays, her sister, Kim Rohr and husband Allen of Hays, and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Bonnie Gordon, and her sister-in-law Tracy Legleiter.
Mass of Christian Burial will be Tuesday, May 13, 2025 at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church with Fr. Curtis Carlson, OFM Cap. officiating. Burial will follow in St. Joseph Cemetery. Visitation will be from 5:00 pm until 8:00 on Monday and from 9:00 am until 9:45 on Tuesday at Hays Memorial Chapel Funeral Home.
