Marjorie was born in Philadelphia and lived in Chicago, Cincinnati, and Lexington, Ky. before moving to New Orleans in 1999. We will especially miss her at her great grandchildren’s many athletic, musical, and school events, all of which she attended for as long as she was able. At Christmas time, her favorite holiday, she never failed to delight us with her amazing baking skills.
