Not sure what to say?

Marjory was among other things a wonderful lady, dog lover, a spotless home keeper, baby sitter for our two girls (I think of these as visits). I also recall her beautiful koi pond and her dog! And was there a piano that she let Laura play? At The Berkshire Museum, where I met and got to know her, she was a wonderful secretary taking care of The Director, and for me a terrific proofreader, promoter, and simply one who I missed when she left for brighter things .

So glad I could help her around the house with projects. It was a great way to spend time with her and get to really know her better. She will be missed!!

My heart goes out to her family. As a child she would watch me and my older sister sometimes when my parents were away. She had toys for us, a beautiful room to sleep in and treated us like we were her own grandchildren. She was a beautiful woman and I have thought of her kindly through the years and shared memories of her with my boys.

Sorry to read about the passing of your Mom. I have so many wonderful memories from visiting you on Benedict Road, you visiting us in Adams on Enterprise Street and meeting you in Barton on Crystal Lake. If I remember correctly, the large playful collie was named Laddie. My Mom and Dad thought your parents were terrific and growing up, having you all as friends was a wonderful experience.

Thinking of you all ,as you mourn the loss of Someone so special. I have so many wonderful memories, visiting Margie with our friend Cynthia. I will never forget that wonderful smile, and the games we played. I will miss you Margie.

Marjorie was a P.E.O. sister and even though she had moved away she was a part of my memory. So sorry the learn of her passing. My prayers and thought for her family.

Margie, endowed with beauty and artistic talent, in turn gave back to an American cultural treasure, the Norman Rockwell Museum archives, in her devoted years of identifying, archivally re-housing, and documenting thousands of Norman Rockwell `s precious photographs. A gracious and gentle soul who left more than "was required."

My sympathy to the family. Marjorie was a wonderful person. She brought so much good to the world. Her life is something to genuinely be celebrated!
