| Published in Today's News Herald from Mar. 13 to Mar. 14, 2021 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - Marjorie Ann Kaufman was the first born to George and Bertha Kaufman on July 3, 1948, in Glendive, MT. Marjorie spent her younger years on the family farm. The family moved to Quincy, WA, where she graduated from Quincy High School in 1966 (Jackrabbits). After graduation, she moved to Seattle where she attended medical school. Marjorie has 5 siblings, Ernie, Conrad, Bill, Patty, and Donald. Marge met Robert E. Smith while he was in the United States Army. They married in Quincy in 1969, and they later moved to Mount Vernon, WA. Three years later, they had their first of three kids, Kimberly, then to follow Robert Jr. and Kristina. Marge worked at the Skagit Valley Medical Center in medical records, and Robert Sr. was a Deputy Sheriff in Skagit Valley. A funny story Marge often shared with her family was about when she was a young child. She would always have to walk through the snow, barefoot, out to the outhouse in Glendive. In 2002, Robert and Marge moved to Lake Havasu City, AZ. Two of their grandchildren lived in Arizona (Lauren and Katie), while the other three lived in California at the time (Maleah, Kalin, and Hailey). Marge continued to work in the medical field in Lake Havasu. She retired from her career in 2010 due to a stroke. She continued to enjoy being around family, watching the Seahawks, going to Mariners spring training games, watching her grandkids play sports, and traveling with her mother and sister. Marge was diagnosed with cancer in May of 2020. Sadly, she succumbed to her illness on January 14, 2021, where she was surrounded at home by her loving husband, kids, friends, and her beloved kitty. Marge was a kind, loving, and family-oriented woman who is greatly missed. Please join us to celebrate Marge's life on Thursday, April 8th, at 1:00 pm, at Our Savior Evangelical Lutheran Church, 3163 Maricopa Avenue, Lake Havasu City, AZ. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Western Arizona Humane Society or to Our Savior Evangelical Lutheran Church, both located in Lake Havasu City, AZ. |
