Marjorie loved to read, go to the casino, travel, and enjoy the outdoors. In her later years, you could find her outside enjoying the sun and watching the wildlife that surrounded the house. She was proud of and loved all her children and grandchildren.
She wanted to be cremated and have her ashes scattered over the graves of her mother and grandmother.
