Bill and Marj raised their family of 8 children on Plumridge in Sterling Heights, where they lived for 27 years. Her family will remember her dearly for the cards she mailed out for every holiday, birthday, and anniversary. She shared her recipes for her delicious authentic UP pasties and chocolate coconut cookies, which are still frequently made. Her love of children was evident, and she held each grandchild and great grandchild with the same gentleness. In her older years, she loved watching the Gameshow Network, Tigers baseball, or late night television with her dog Molly by her side. She was never without a crossword puzzle on her end table. A private memorial will be held. Burial to take place at Van Hoosen Jones St. Creek Cemetery in Rochester, Michigan next to her beloved husband of 44 years.
