We are positive that God had a room prepared for her in his Mansion and without question, near her Mom, Granddaughter’s and many other close family members. Marjorie is survived by four children that treasured her, Loving Daughter and Best Friend LaToya Elmendorf, at which they shared a home and whom provided extensive support, care and unconditional love, her sons and their partners Mark (Kathleen), Brandon (Sara), and side kick Reno (Shikeea) whom also provided support, care and love throughout this battle.

Marjorie is survived by her Sisters, Marie Knapp (Chuck), Kim Elmendorf (Felton), Brothers, James Elmendorf III (Donna), and Ralph Cline Jr. (Joselynn).   Marjorie is survived by many cousins who were raised and loved as Siblings. Nieces, Nephews, Aunts and Uncles that all held a special place in her heart.  Marjorie was a loving, caring, generous, and thoughtful person who will be greatly missed. Though we all loved her very much we know that she would say “I love you more.” Per Marjorie’s request there are no calling hours and cremation has taken place. “Don’t be afraid, Close your eyes, Don’t you cry, Can’t you see I’m going where I can see the Sun Rise, I’ve been talking to my Angel and he says that it’s alright.”   Arrangements have been entrusted to Joseph J.
