Marjorie was a very generous and faithful supporter of the Social Apostolate for many years. I regret that I never had the joy of meeting her, but felt I knew her through her monthly contributions. I am so sorry I was not able to attend her wake and funeral, but have been united in prayer. My deepest condolences to her husband and family.

Those of us from the 1950s who meet each year to celebrate our sisterhood and remember the great life we shared at the Theta House in Athens have fond memories of Marjy, our loving, positive, thoughtful sister who had a wonderful sense of humor, a hearty laugh, and endearing Savannah charm.
