Margaret Esther Younce

Margaret E. Brown-Younce, age 68, passed away peacefully December 31, 2023. She was born September 22, 1955 in Walsenburg, CO to Patrick and Josephine Pineda. Marge grew up in Colorado until the age of 18 then moved out to California.

Marge was a kind and caring woman. She was a free spirit, a lover not a fighter. Marge had some notable loves in her lifetime, many whom have remained friends throughout the years. In 1990 Marge was introduced to Cliff by her best friend at the time, Cheryl. Marge and Cliff were together for about seven years before parting ways as she moved on to establish her career and focus on her children.

Marge loved to help people. She received her CNA certification in Merced County in the late 80’s and continued to work in the medical field for over 30 years. She started her career off as an in-home nursing assistant, went to working in nursing homes and then became an activities instructor. Marge seemed to be able to keep her clients excited about each day’s activities which in turn, gave her great pleasure.

In 2004, Marge reunited with the love of her life Cliff, and eventually relocated to Santa Barbara where she would continue her love to help people. Marge took on many different jobs and wore many different hats. Marge was a full time employee for UCP meanwhile taking on additional positions. Some of those positions included working at the harbor, helping with assisted living, becoming a bar tender for The Eagles Club (in which she was a beloved member), and also babysitting at the Montecito Inn, built by Charlie Chaplin.

Everything Marge did, was done with positivity and passion. That’s why everyone was drawn to her beautiful positive soul. She made everyone feel loved, she made everyone feel included, and without a doubt would help anyone in need.

Marge is survived by her love Cliff Hague, her sister Barbara (Lee), brother David, sister Roberta; sister-in-law, Monica; son Wayne (Tawnya) and her daughter BryAnne(Mike); grandchildren, Kirstyn, Keeley, Wayne, Lena, and Arya; plus her first great grandchild (due June 2024); and her many nephews and nieces. All of these she loved and touched deeply.

Please join the family for a Celebration of Life starting at 3pm on February 17, 2024. It will be held at The Santa Barbara Fraternal Order of Eagles #442 located at 923 Bath St, Santa Barbara, Ca. 93101.
