Marjorie has called Pearland home for the past 23 years, having previously resided in Houston, TX. Her life’s journey began with nursing school and continued with honorable service in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War, stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX. It was there that she met her beloved Page, and together they embarked on a life filled with love and adventure. Marjorie and Page found solace and community as members of First Presbyterian Church after relocating to the area in 2000.
