I first met Marj when she came to my door as the “welcome wagon” lady after I moved to Lowell. I often saw her at the bank and could get my Entertainment book from her each year. When I retired, I joined Lowell Women’s Club and got to know Marj better through her presence and activity there. She will be missed by many! Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
