About this listen

Not everyone makes the front page, but everyone leaves a story worth telling. In this episode of our life stories podcast, meet Marge Charleville (1940-2025): weekend pilot, coffee entrepreneur, and avid gardener who transformed her deepest grief into powerful advocacy. After her daughter was killed by a drunk driver in 1980, Marge founded St. Louis' chapter of Remove Intoxicated Drivers, fighting for legislative changes that continue saving lives today.

The woman who "planted gardens everywhere she lived" also nurtured seeds of change throughout Missouri—creating safety infrastructure that outlives her 85 years. Join us for an inspiring documentary podcast episode that celebrates the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. Real people. Real lives. Never ordinary.
