Family of Marjorie,
On behalf of my father, Vic Phelps of Andover, I share his condolences. I met her while taking my dad to events in Danbury the last 2 years. They always chatted about things. I believe they attended high school together, and he knew her through the Grange as well. Again, sorry for her passing.
