Marjorie was an avid dog lover and in particular she loved Dobermans and Tibetan Terriers. She was the president and a member of those clubs for many years and is beloved by all in those organizations. She will always be known for having a huge heart for all animals, and always had a home full of them, dogs, cats, snakes, turtles even a skunk and a opossum. She couldn’t say no! That didn’t only apply to animals. She was known as Mrs. Mom to most of our friends and neighbors and always had an open house for family and friends who didn’t have a place to stay. There was hardly a time where we didn’t have someone other than family living in her house. To sum it all up Marjorie AKA: Marge, Large Marge, Mrs. Mom, La Americana and we can’t forget Witch Marge was a larger than life character with a huge heart that will never be forgotten by anyone who met her. A Memorial Service will be held this evening, Friday Dec 21 at Boyd-Panciera University Drive Chapel at 7:30 PM with a gathering beginning at 6:00 PM.
