Marjorie was a member of the Calvary Baptist Church. From 1984 until 2009 she enjoyed wintering in Texas. She would travel to Canada to fish, and loved playing board games, croquet, and shuffleboard. For many years she would meet her sister, niece and brothers-in-law every Monday for lunch and games. While at Crestview she enjoyed the many activities they provided, especially bingo. Marjorie was very musical, singing and playing the organ.

Memorials may be made to Calvary Baptist Church in memory of Marjorie.
