MARJORIE TREGER Obituary

MARJORIE GOLDSTEIN TREGER Marjorie Goldstein Treger, beloved mother and wife, died on June 5, 2018, in Kennewick, Washington. Marjorie was born July 21, 1922, in Lincoln, Nebraska. She was the youngest of five children of Samuel and Mollie Goldstein. Her family moved to Manhattan, Kansas, in 1933. She attended Kansas State University and received a degree in medical technology. Marjorie met her husband, Donald Maxwell Treger, in Kansas City, where he was attending medical school. They married October 28, 1944, and were together 72 years until Donald's death in May 2017. After several moves for Donald's medical training, they settled in Bremerton, Washington, in 1954. In addition to raising four children, Marjorie was active in the Kitsap County Medical Auxiliary and P.E.O. In 1974, his practice of medicine took them to Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands for one year, and then Tallahassee, Florida, for another year. They returned to Bremerton in 1976 and Donald reopened his practice, with Marjorie as his office manager, until retiring in 1982. Marjorie and Donald wintered on Maui, Hawaii, for many years and travelled internationally on cruises around the world. She enjoyed playing tennis and was an avid bridge player, playing two to three times a week in her retirement years. In 2004, she and Donald moved to Kennewick to be closer to their daughter Donna and her family. She continued to enjoy bridge and PEO, taking water aerobics classes, and enjoyed following the activities of her granddaughters there. Marjorie is survived by her sons Brian, Thomas (Ruth), Dennis (Elizabeth), daughter Donna (Gus), as well as seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. The family requests any memorials be made to The International Chapter of the P.E.O. Sisterhood at www.donations.peointer national.org
