Margie McCabe
A Jersey girl, Margie McCabe learned to play ball on her block in her hometown of Teaneck, and to perform song and dance numbers in school talent shows. She was voted “Class Clown” in high school, and danced for 28 hours straight in a college dance marathon. Margie was tear gassed protesting the Vietnam War, and once shook hands with Salvador Dali. Two weeks after graduating from Emerson College, Margie moved to New Hampshire where she was the only Jew in a 10-mile radius. While there, she performed in community theater (Eliza Doolittle, Aldonza/Dulcinea, Miss Adelaide, and more), dinner theater, and straw-hat theater with Betsy Palmer. Margie even had her own singing telegram business called “Messages by Margie”. Meanwhile, she honed her skills as a secretary in engineering, membership organizations, and government. One of her bosses was Stephen McCabe, now her husband of almost 38 years. After moving to Rye, Margie responded to Congregation Emanu-El’s ad for a temple and Rabbi’s secretary, and because she could read Rabbi Wolk’s left-handed chicken scratch, she got the job. After his retirement in 2010, Margie had the pleasure of introducing Rabbi Goldsmith to our temple community. Margie retired in 2012 after 26 years at the temple, including 10 years as a 3rd and 5th grade Religious School teacher. She continues to bring endless energy, joy, and song to our community. Since her retirement, Margie has performed her own cabaret act, led a 20 voice singing group of senior citizens, played on a championship women’s softball team, lowered her golf handicap, and has traveled and enjoyed extended stays in California, Barcelona, Nova Scotia and the south of France. Margie and Steve live in Greenwich, and enjoy time spent with their children, Mike and Danny, with Steve’s children Steve, Erin, Lauren, with their six grandchildren, and many dear friends.
