Marjorie's life was devoted to family and to helping others in any way she could. Throughout her adult life she devoted her time to her husband and raising their children. She also had jobs outside of her home, she was employed as a waitress, she worked at Stokely Bean factory, the Dairy Queen, she was a school bus driver, she did the accounting for her husband's business, she was caregiver to her parents and husband, she drove friends to doctor and other appointments and she was involved in her church. Marjorie liked to crochet and made beautiful doilies and other pieces. She loved to garden and preserve what she grew. She was always kind and friendly to all people. She worked hard her whole life and never complained. She was an example to her children of how to be a good parent and she was always there to protect them and help them in whatever way they needed.

Marjorie's family thanks the Frederic Nursing home for their devoted care for almost three years. The staff became family to all of us and it gave us comfort to know she was in a safe loving place.
