Dear Cindy and family, I shared many moments with your mother at the library. Her helpful kindness and friendliness will be remembered by many Rye citizens, both young and old. Kathleen Cole Rye Elementary School, retired

What I remember most about Marjorie is her zipping about town in her little car on her way to the library, grocery store or on an errand with her granddaughters but always going somewhere! She was well loved in the community. She was upbeat, with a touch of dry humor and loved to make you laugh. She could even see the humor in dire situations and could make you laugh anyway. She loved to tell stories and did so with great comedic ability. I met Marjorie a long, long time ago when the kids were all small but she was always a sweetheart to me and my children. In later years, her health declined…but she still remained the same, asking about my family, finding some good thing to say. My daughter called her Grandma and she made us feel included in family gatherings. I will miss you Marjorie and thank you for being the light you were. Love, Vicky

We met Marjorie when she lived at Mark Wentworth home down the hall from my mother-in-law. She always had a bright smile and a cheery hello. It was clear she had several health challenges but she was pushing thru and making the best of it. She was NOT gonna let it get her spirits down or keep her in her room I actually got to know her better when she moved to Edgewood where my own mother lived. I would see her in the dining room and she always smiled and her eyes twinkled. She would ask about my mother and my mother in law. She was clearly a very caring person and had a generous full heart for all. Now off to your new adventure, Marjorie! Enjoy yourself and know that you have touched many lives here on earth. We are lucky to have known you – tho ever so briefly.
