Shortly after they were married they started a family and moved to Waterville where Marjorie and George raised their family. Marge worked for many years at Food King in Waterville and even until recent years could be found stocking shelves and working in the office paying bills. Marjorie enjoyed the outdoors, sporty cars (mainly Camaros), gardening, camping, casino trips with her friend, and family vacations. Family was the most important thing to her, she was a den mother for the cub scouts and a room mother in her children’s classrooms. Second only to her family she loved her animals large and small, there was not a stray she could say no to; she was their champion, their protector, and their best friend.
