Marjorie was born in Everett, MA on November 28, 1926 to the late Albert Conrad and Alexandra (Parsons) Conrad. She grew up and graduated from high school in Saugus, MA and then took one year of pre-nursing at Atlantic Union College and three years of nursing at New England Memorial Hospital in Stoneham, MA where she worked for ten years before moving to Troy, ME. She moved back to MA in 1971 to be near family and in 1996 retired back in ME.

Marjorie and Bill‘s favorite Bible verse was: “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.”

My thoughts & prayers for the Dawson Family.
My sincerest condolences to Bob, Jim, Bill, and Helen, and all her family on the loss of dear Marge.
Marge was a lovely God-fearing woman. I will always remember the joy she expressed during our devotional times together in praying, reading, and singing.
She was a blessing to take care of, always showing kindness and love. She was always so grateful for everything I did for her and always expressed her gratitude. She was a pleasure to be with and I praise God for having known her.
I miss her and will continue to until that Great Resurrection Day
comes when we will meet again!
Marge was a wonderful wife and mother. She was a very happy loving person to all who knew her. She will be missed but not forgotten.
Lovingly, Marilyn Primrose
Will miss her so much. A sad time for everyone who knew and loved her.
Will see you when Jesus comes.
Marge was a neighbor for about 30 years. I had been spending more time with her in the evenings recently to give her sons a bit of a break from round the clock care that they were providing. We enjoyed watching worship programs on television & reading daily devotionals from Guideposts. Always looking out the window to see what birds were @ the feeder, Marge loved nature & walked with God. She had a strong faith & will be reunited with Bill, her loving husband at last.
