They lived in Minnesota, Nebraska and Colorado before moving to Arizona in 1969. Marjorie was a devoted mother and homemaker, and treasured time with her family above all else. She enjoyed sewing, genealogy, card-making, and the arts. She loved animals and raised Arabian and Thoroughbred horses with her husband and family at their ranches in Scottsdale and Prescott, Arizona. GGG (“Triple G”), as she was known to her great grandchildren, loved watching them dance, play hockey and soccer, string beads, and create beautiful works of art. Marjorie always told her family, “I love you to the moon and back.” Mindy and Keith were blessed to have Marjorie as a roommate for the last 10 years of her life. We will love you forever, Mom/Grandma/GGG.
