I had the pleasure of working for Marjorie (and robie) last year. She was one of the most interesting and incredible women I have ever met. She was funny and loving and so strong. I will miss talking with her about her life and all the experiences she had. She was truly amazing and I loved her very much. I will always cherish our time together, whether it was watching family feud or going through her old photographs, her memory will always be with me. With love, Kayla Norton

What a wonderfully vivacious friend! We so enjoyed her sense of humor, her big smile, and her joy in living. What a gal!!

Marjorie was such fun...talented and humorous. At Valcito Lake, she led the people in little shows she created herself and gathered props for all the players. I loved her being Madame and wearing paper towel rolls as breasts! At the Good Samaritan Center, she was so supportive. At one of the annual meetings she sang a sweet sweet sad little song that caused tears in many eyes....and she baked the most awful mincemeat pie for the dinner and dessert auction fund raiser for the Center...it sold for $45 bucks!!! She was thrilled. She was elegance personified and a comedian right up there with Red Skelton. God must be delighted to have her. She will be missed greatly. May God be your comfort, also. Love and prayer, In Jesus,

We remember Marjorie (GG) as a very intelligent and highly knowledgeable person. She was fun to be with and would share her love of life with those around her. We will miss not spending more time with her ,but are sure she will be with the Lord. May she rest in peace.

Marjorie will definitely be missed. We always looked forward to visiting with her when she was able to be in church. She was one of a kind-heaven gained an angel.
