Marjorie starred in the Roche Players production of Kiss Me Kate and loved the spotlight.  She was also a member of the Ars Musica classical singing group for many years.  In addition to performing with Ars Musica, Marjorie spearheaded a fundraising drive which raised thousands for college scholarships. 

She loved cooking (the blintzes were incomparable), spending time with her many friends, knitting and jewelry-making. Marjorie is survived by her loving husband, Arthur, sons Daniel and Adam, and granddaughter Everly. Arrangements are under the care of Vander Plaat Funeral Home – Wyckoff.
