Marjorie came to Montreal, Canada, in 1954 and had resided in Saint John from 1966 to 2008 when she then moved to Grand Bay – Westfield. She worked at several companies over the years as a book-keeper and finally ran her own small bookkeeping business (PBS). She was a member of Centenary-Queen Square United Church from 1990-2009 and later transferred to Westfield United.
