She was a keen Bridge player and had several Master Points. She was a talented cook and pianist. She liked the challenge of a good crossword puzzle. She enjoyed socializing with family and friends, but never wanted to be the center of attention. She was a loving and caring mother. But what Marjorie loved most was being a “NANA”. She cherished the time spent with all of her grandchildren, and would plan her vacations around the grandchildren’s visits. They were her pride and joy and in her eyes they could do no wrong or as she would say they were as “Good as Gold”. They all brought so much happiness into her life.
