Her passion was living on Lake Fenton and boating to the Moose Lodge. She loved cruising the lake on her pontoon boat and hearing the rumble of her speedboat as she drove it around the lake. She loved having family and friends over for BBQs and boat rides. Even as recent as September she was driving her boat and going to the Moose Lodge for dinner while watching the sunset on the lake. In her free time, Marjorie enjoyed boating, tennis, gardening, and playing the violin and piano. She also played the violin with the Community Orchestra.

Marjorie loved her family and cherished her two children: Cristina Redford and Charles Baird and his wife Dr. Joanne Elston Baird; three grandchildren: Morgan, Luke, and Ryann; along with sister, Kathy Rittenhouse; niece, Kara Rittenhouse; and many other family members and friends.
