It is with gratitude and smiles that I remember Aunt Marj. The best cinnamon rolls in the world were rolled out in her kitchen!
She was a wonderful woman and I have no doubt that much of her wisdom will live on in the lives of the family she was always so very proud of.
We are so sorry to hear of your mother Marjean’s passing! Blessed be her memory! Prayers, love and hugs to the family!

As I am spending winter months in AZ. will not make it to service. She was one of my special cousins. Nicest, kindest, gracious and and a special person in my life. Deepest and most sincere sympathy to her lovely family.
Grandma, you were always kind and caring you will be deeply missed. Love Michael Jacobs ❤️
Your family is in our prayers
Marjean and I became very close. We visited Goethe’s many times in person and by phone. I loved hearing her stories of growing up and living in Alden most of her life. We would get together for Coop meetings nags Ann ally in Adams. Steak Fry, fireman’s benefit. She was dear to my heart. I will always miss her dearly. I am saddened I will not be able to attend her funeral. Her family’s have been in my thoughts and prayers. You are free of pain and trouble now. I have lost a great friend we had many ways of connections. Love you Margie I will miss you!
