Marjorie is survived by her children, Maryanne (James) Meleo, Jeffrey (Colleen), James (Laurie), and Laurie Gillette. Eight grandchildren, & twelve great grandchildren.
Marge is predeceased by her parents, James and Leona Pressley, & spouse Robert E Gillette.
Marge was born in West Irondequoit on 9/20/1927. She was an avid reader & did many crossword puzzles. Marge loved spending time with her four high school friends. Most of all, she loved spending time with her grandchildren & great grandchildren. She loved people & having large family gatherings, where time would be spent laughing around the dining room table or enjoying her cottage in the Thousand Islands.
Special Thanks: The family wishes to send a special thank you to Laurie Alverio from "Hand & Hand In Your Home" for being the best Care Manager one could ask for and also for helping Marge remain in her home up until the end. Words can not express how indebted we are for all Laurie's help and support. The family truly could not have done this without her help and assistance. Thank you for all your care and compassion.
Private interment at Riverside Cemetery.
570 Kings Hwy South, Rochester, NY 14617
