I was a single mom struggling to raise my 2 sons. I met Marjorie and she reminded me God loves and is with me. She always told me I was apart of her family, those words and North Prospect Church services helped me through some tough times. I will never forget Marjorie Scott from Cambridge. She helped save me.. #ripmajoriescott

Dear Scott Family,
I have come to know Marjorie in the last few years. I have come to know her as a spirited, courageous, and always giving person. Even when her sclerodema worsened she kept pushing herself to her full potential. She never gave into her illness. I feel a great loss of a good friend, a friend you all can be proud of. My sympathies, Beryl

Marjorie was a classmate of mine at Andover Newton Theological School. She was always gracious, caring, and of course -- smart! Her gentle and insightful presence, her brave and uncomplaining struggle with physical problems were an inspiration. How much better we and the world were for her time among us.

My favorite memories of Marjorie were sitting in English class...Flash Gordon...next to her. We both loved that class and did tons of whispering back and forth. Of all the wonderful things about her...her high intelligence level, her tender heart and goodness towards all, I can completely say she never ever even once said one single bad thing about anyone and who can say that about anyone. I admired her and looked up to her. altho I didn't see her again after high school and didn't keep up with her I am sorry about that because I know my life would have been enriched especially to know her brave fight against so many odds to live this earthly life to the best that God made her for...love from a high school friend from the class of 1966, Mary Keith Harvey Overby

I recall many fond memories of times shared with Marjorie at Bedford Baptist Church. I lost track of her since graduating from LHS. Her life's works are testimony to her goodness and concern for others. Our deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Please accept my deepest and most sincere condolences over the loss of a wonderful person. I know Marjorie from college days at Westhampton College, University of Richmond. Although I have not seen or communicated with her in decades, I feel that it was only yesterday that her big smile graced my day. She had a big heart, a scholarly mind and a love of life. I admired her greatly as there was nothing pretentious about her - she was very real. May friends, family and faith console you in this time of sorrow.

With fondest memories,
Mary Pearson

Marjorie and I were suitemates at Westhampton. She was an extraordinary person and a great friend, and I have remembered all these years the many laughs and experiences we all shared. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Marjorie and I met at Ridgecrest one summer. We kept in touch and then discovered we would be attending Westhampton in the fall of 1966. She was a wonderful friend and became a leader in our class. I always admired her for her great laugh, friendliness, intelligence and her spiritual strength. I knew that she would make a difference in others' lives just as she did with mine and other classmates during our four years at U of R.
With love,

As her classmate at Westhampton College, I remember Marjorie for her warmth, kindness and gentle leadership. It is not surprising that she continued to make many contributions to the world around her throughout the years. I send my thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.

Marjorie was my classmate at Westhampton College, Class of 1970. I had the privilege of serving with Marjorie in various student government positions and relished her leadership style and abilities to quietly resolve conflicts. I will always remember her smile and warmth. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Marjorie was such a strong presence at Westhampton College/UR, and in the class of 1970. She was a leader, a team player, a scholar, a colleague and a terrific friend,and one of those people whom everyone loves. She is remembered fondly by all of us who had the gift of knowing her.

Marjorie was such a special person as we grew up together on Peaks Street in Bedford, through the time we went to Westhampton together. Even though I did not see much of her after she moved to Boston, I have many fond memories of times we shared. I know she is in good hands now. I want to send my condolences to Danny, Kenneth and all her family.

I haven't seen Marjorie since school days but we were always close friends in school. I am so sad to hear of her passing. She was a very special person and I will always remember the good times we had.
