Family was Marjorie’s greatest love and brought her the most joy in life. Holidays were very special gatherings and she enjoyed baking for family.

She played cards with them and played mini golf. She also enjoyed flower gardening, feeding the birds, jigsaw puzzles and word finds, and reading. She was a sports fan; especially enjoying the Minnesota Twins and the Green Bay Packers.
