Margie Patton enjoyed a 46 year marriage with her Pastor-Teacher husband, Wayne. Their journey together took them to many places of ministry and left them rich in experiences, love, and family, for which Margie is genuinely grateful. However, with Wayne's diagnosis of ALS, their adventures together turned to the "sickness" side of the marriage vows. 

In January of 2023, Margie became a widow when Wayne lost his battle with this degenerative disease. However, her example of steadfast faith and unwavering love and care for her husband is an example for every spouse who is serious about keeping the marriage vows of "in sickness and in health." 

Listen in as Margie shares with host Ruth McDonald her intimate and authentic walk through the decline and death of her husband. You might cry, but you will also definitely be challenged and encouraged by her beautiful testimony of God's faithfulness.
