Together with David they emigrated to Canada in 1948, entered the US in Seattle, and eventually Paterson, then Hawthorne, NJ where they set up a home. Marjorie and Ed opened a Beauty Shop in Midland Park and ran it through the early 80’s. She went on to work for Meyer Bros Dept. Store in Wayne until retiring and moving to her Condo in Midland Park in 1990.  Marjorie loved to shop, collect jewelry and travel, visiting England often to see her friends and relatives. She was a font of information about WW2 and its effect on her life in England. She was quite knowledgeable about English History and the Monarchy but was always appreciative of the US and was always an American as she put it.  Service will be private followed by cremation.
