Marjorie Helen (Bowers) Jantzen, passed peacefully from this life's journey on Sunday, January 26, 2014 at home in Monroe, North Carolina. Born in Newark, New Jersey, she lived 52 years in Wayne, NJ before moving to Monroe, NC. She was a loving mother of six, grandmother and great-grandmother who will be missed by all.
Born just six months after the passage of the Constitutional amendment that protected women’s rights to vote, Marjorie Jantzen exemplified the belief that all people are entitled to fairness and opportunity by the manner in which she lived her life.
Entrepreneur In the 1940‘s when few women attended college, Marjorie Jantzen graduated from Seton Hall University with a degree in accounting. Her early work as an accountant with Public Service, Hoffman Beverage, Vitascope Manufacturing, and Samuel Daniels, CPA & Attorney, provided the sound financial and business foundation for her entrepreneurial spirit. In 1950, Marjorie Jantzen, with her husband, Charles A. Jantzen, founded Photographic Analysis Company and applied film-based imaging technologies to solve complex motion analysis problems. Later, Marjorie Jantzen became one of the original founders of Vision Research, Inc. and served as Chair of its Board of Directors. Today, Vision Research is recognized as the global leader in digital high speed imaging technology for science, research & development, sports, television, and motion pictures, with offices and employees around the world. Marjorie Jantzen’s last entrepreneurial venture began in the late 1980’s when she helped organized Metacomm LLP, one of a handful of women-owned businesses that obtained FCC licenses for the emerging technology of cellular telephone services.
Humanitarian In the 1950's, Marjorie Jantzen’s belief that each person has an innate right to opportunity was critically tested when her oldest son, Donald, was born with severe birth defects. Rejecting the conventional wisdom of the day to institutionalize her son, Marjorie Jantzen fought successfully to obtain the help and education he would need to live an independent life. In doing so, Marjorie Jantzen also fought for the rights of other individuals living with disabilities. Along with her husband, Charles, and others, Marjorie established The Foundation for the Handicapped in Wayne, and fought to obtain favorable zoning regulations from the Township of Wayne for a sheltered workshop. Today, The Foundation for the Handicapped continues to provide meaningful employment opportunities for individuals living with disabilities, and cost-effective services to local businesses through a skilled dedicated workforce.
Activist For Marjorie Jantzen, politics was synonymous with activism. Her belief that all people are entitled to fairness and opportunity lead her to actively support the civil rights movement. She was an active member of the Catholic Interracial Council as well as the Wayne Interracial Committee. Throughout her life, she challenged people, sometimes gently and sometimes vigorously, to become more open-minded and more mindful of the rights of others.
Family Marjorie Jantzen was preceded in death by her beloved husband Charles A. Jantzen, her oldest son Donald A. Jantzen, her parents, her grandson Sean Liam Jantzen-Feliciano, and her brothers, Donald and Eugene Bowers.
Marjorie Jantzen is survived by her sons Joseph Jantzen of Trenton, Maine; Charles (Andy) Jantzen and Lyon (Art) Jantzen both of Wayne, NJ; and her daughters Constance Jantzen of Stuart, Florida and Julie Sauciuc of Monroe, North Carolina. She is also survived by her brother James Bowers of Keyport, NJ; eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
