Marj was a loving wife, mother, Nana, aunt, sister and friend. She enjoyed cooking and sewing for family and friends.
She also loved her church. At St. Joseph's, she was a member of the Women's Guild and St. Monica's Guild. She also volunteered in the parish Thrift Shop and helped with Vacation Bible School and as an assistant teacher. She spent many hours making baptismal stoles for the babies and new members, and making curtains for the Religious Education Classes.
