She loved to cook and worked for many years at the Oak Mountain Ski Center in speculator NY as the Head cook. She was also the head cook for the Summer Meals Program in the 70's in Speculator NY. She loved to sew and crochet and be with her family. Her family was her world. She had two grandchildren Billy Haak Jr. and Casandra (Carleton) Wallace, whom she loved beyond words. Marjorie's most recent light of her life was her Great-Granddaughter Quinn Ann Wallace and loved playing with her every day. Quinn loved her Gigi and their favorite thing to do was cuddle in GiGi's recliner under a fluffy blanket. Marjorie also adored her son-in-law John Kennedy. He was there for her for everything and always took care of her no matter what she needed. Besides her parents, Marjorie's husband, Donald C Haak, Grand-son Billy Haak Jr, two brothers, George L Orr and Donald Orr predeceased her.
