Photos courtesy of Joan MoffattThe two pictures above show Marjorie surrounded by the "Growing Native" Plant Nursery group from Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust. She is in the brown T-shirt and has a kerchief on her head. David is standing next to her in the top picture. The pictures were taken in May, 2008 while Marjorie was undergoing chemotherapy.
Marjorie said that she had found her true home working with these friends at Pennypack. They propagated (grew) native plants, started two plant sales a year, and planned and installed native plant gardens at Pennypack. Marjorie was instrumental in getting the group started. She loved working at Pennypack with this group and threw herself into every possible project with enthusiasm and leadership.
This was the way that Marjorie lived her whole life, with passion and enthusiasm. She had many friends and many interests that she threw herself into. See article listed below in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Marjorie's Memorial Service will be held in the butterfly garden she created at Pennypack
