I am saddened to hear, just today, that Marjorie passed away. I helped her many times (here at the credit union) and was always cheered by her enthusiastic outlook on life. I was inspired by her passion for living life to the fullest. She will be missed.

My prayers are with the family and friends at this time of loss. Marge and I met at the Seattle Engineering Department in the 1960's. Marge was quite the businesswomen at both the office and selling jewelry and clothes at her apartment by Seattle Center, which I enjoyed buying so I would have something new to wear to work. Marge, friend Sharon and I recently went out to dinner at Chinooks, one of her favorite restaurants. I just saw Marge at the Engineering retirees luncheon at the Lake City Elks the first Friday of March - She was cherry and enjoying the lunch. She will be missed very much by so many people she touched in her life. Michele Daly
