Through the years she also maintained an active involvement in her family's Ohio farm which was started in 1902-- working there with her sister during most of her summer breaks from teaching. An endowed scholarship at the University of Findlay in her name supports those who are "aware of mankind's place in the ecosystem" and who will in turn become "stewards of the land." Marj was an amazing teacher whose incredible thirst for knowledge was contagious. She was a "walking encyclopedia" when it came to nature and wildlife -- to go on a walk with her in the forest was an unforgettable learning experience. She also built her life around amazing friendships with Alma Knatz, Helen and Bob Atteberry and family, Ella Stanford, Howard Papworth, teaching friends and students, and parishioners at First United Methodist Church in Roseville. After retiring from teaching she volunteered in the community at the Sacramento Zoo and through her church. She was "flipping pancakes" at Mission Oaks Community Center breakfasts into her 90s. She lived at Roseville Commons for many years.
