I'm just learning of Marjorie's passing. I know your watching over your Saint Judes Recovery Center family. You were a legend!

I am so sorry to hear the Marorie has passed. It has been a year since her death and I am devastated to find out this news. I used to work at St. Jude's Recovery Center as an administrative assistant back in the 80's and had the pleasure of knowing Margie. She was a dedicated, hard worker who loved helping people. She will be missed in a major way. She was one of the instrumental people in me pursing my dreams and leaving SJRC to follow my dreams and accomplish my goals. St. Jude's is in great hands with Suzanne whom I also love. Margie taught us all lot and provided the opportunity for us to soar high to be who and what we wanted. GOD rest your soul Margie.
