Marjorie grew up in Romeo, but graduated from Almont High School. After a year of study at WMU, Marjorie worked in Detroit for the war effort. She met the love of her life, Robert Snell, while working in Ann Arbor for the Univ. of Michigan. After marrying in 1947, they moved to Kalamazoo. Marge will always be remembered for her love for her family and friends, sharp wit and great sense of humor, and her sense of STYLE!

Surviving are her husband Robert Snell of Kalamazoo; two sons Mark (Debbie) Snell of Broomall, PA and William (Nancy) Snell of Kalamazoo; one daughter Julia (Michael) Lave of Nashua, NH; sister Jean Grasser of Rochester, MI; seven grandchildren, four step-grandchildren, and five step-great grandchildren.
