Marjorie was a member of St. Athanasius Parish, Jesup and St. Pius X Parish, Cedar Rapids. She was a member of the Catholic Daughters of America.  She truly loved participating in Bible Study with her dear friends from St. Pius.  She also served as secretary of the Resident’s Council at Hiawatha Care Center.

Marjorie was a woman of tremendous faith and wisdom. She will be remembered for her dignity, grace, humility, and compassion.  She enjoyed family gatherings, playing cards, quilting, reading, cooking for her family, (especially her potato salad) wintering in Arizona and traveling in their retirement. She loved and was very proud of each of her 99 grandchildren.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Hiawatha Care Center for loving and caring for our dear Mother during her 3-year stay.
