Her creative, ingeniouscontributions were welcomed as were herinvaluable, meticulous skills in documenting thework that the team performed on the project.Professionally, her efforts will be missed greatly.On a personal level, Marjorie had so many greatqualities. As an avid fan of the TV series Babylon5, she idealized Susan Ivanova, a strong womanof leadership with a multi-dimensional, complexcharacter. In many ways, she was very much likeher favorite character displaying loyalty, a greatsense of humor, integrity, honesty and yet, a hottemper when needed.One of her favorite sayings was from her hero onthe Babylon 5 TV show: “Ivanova is always right.I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova’srecomendations. And, if this ever happens again,Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out!”
