Marjorie was a life-long Bowler and an avid Bunco player for over seventy-five
years. She enjoyed Pinochle Nights and made the best homemade chicken soup
her family has ever had. Those who knew well her understood not to call her
when one of her favorite television shows were on. Those shows included The
Bachelorette, The Bachelor, Survivor, and Dancing with the Stars. Marjorie was an
ever-devoted mother, had a spunky sense of humor and remained courageous
and brave through her difficult journeys. Marjorie’s legacy and most loved and
important possessions were her family and her faith. Her greatest wish would be
for all those she knew to live their life with grace and to enjoy and cherish their
loved ones as she did.
