Marjorie has been married for 35 years to Greg and together they have a family of 6 children and 10 grandkids and Clancy, her dog.

As an advocate for community safety, crime prevention, and community wellness, Marjorie became a grassroots voice for change. Her passion for helping the community was sparked when she took a stand against the negative influences in her neighbourhood and developed the local organization East Side Pride in 1999. She instrumented a sustainable positive change in her neighbourhood through teamwork, partnerships and building trust.

Having a passion for all of Chatham-Kent moved her to run for Municipal Council in 2006. She has worked for many years in the manufacturing sector and currently works at Family Service Kent as the Volunteer and Community Wellbeing Coordinator.
