Not sure what to say?

30 years ago I was a paraprofessional for Marjorie. I learned so much from her. She helped me master the Apple computers in the building, and I´ve loved working with educational technology ever since. Marjorie encouraged me to pursue a certification in special education, which I did. Although we only worked together for a year, she had a great influence on me and my career.

Marjorie was a kind spirit, a helpful neighbor and a dedicated defender of voting rights. Missing her and wishing her family the comfort of loving memories.

Such a gentle soul and delightful person. She will be missed.
