I remember Aunt Marjorie with great fondness and have the best memories of staying in her home when my family and I visited Louisiana in the summer of 1960. I extend to all her family my sincerest sympathies. God be with you all.

Marjorie was a wonderful lady with many talents. I will always remember her wonderful cooking and contagious smile. Always quick witted and was still doing yard work until she was 90. She was greatly loved by all of the family and friends. Always interested in everyone's lives. She will be missed.
