Marjorie was a former employee of Rand McNally, as well as a former Poll Worker for the City of Hammond (Hessville). She was an avid bowler with the Tuesday Afternoon Ladies at PinBowl in Hessville, and loved fishing, especially in Minnesota and Wisconsin. She and Bob made annual fishing trips to Phillips, Wisconsin for nearly 50 years, and spent many years camping with friends at Bass Lake. Grandma was always a big fan of all her grandchildren’s endeavors and could usually be found in the bleachers of any sport when they were involved. She was a great Cubs fan. As her vision declined, she became a loyal patron of the Indiana State Library Foundation for Talking Books and spent many hours with her headphones on enjoying her latest book.

In lieu of flowers Memorial Donations may be made to the Indiana State Library Foundation for Talking Books, 140 North Senate Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204.
