Marjorie Mary La Forge (nee Murray) age 91 of Wayne died peacefully on Sunday, April 17, 2011 at the Christian Health Care Center in Wyckoff.
She was born in Boscobel, Wisconsin and raised in Avoca Wisconsin. She graduated from St. Mary’s Academy in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin with the Class of 1937. She lived in New York City and worked as a secretary for the Manhattan Project. She moved to Newark, NJ and later to Wayne where she lived for forty-five years before moving to the Christian Health Care Center in Wyckoff, NJ.
She worked as a secretary for the Township of Wayne in the sixties. She also worked as a legal secretary for many years before retiring in the late 1980’s.
She was a member of Holy Cross RC Church in Wayne and then joined Immaculate Heart of Mary RC Church also in Wayne as a founding parishioner in 1960.
Marge loved to read and was outgoing and talkative. She was a dedicated and loving mother who had a real sweet-tooth and love of anything chocolate. She also enjoyed playing the piano and bridge. Her special touch on Shrimp Creole will be greatly missed.
She loved to travel and visited Italy, Egypt, Switzerland, and Ireland, just to name a few. One of her notable cruises was on the Achille Lauro in the Mediterranean Sea.
Marge was the loving wife of the late Russell Jesse La Forge (1976) whom she married in 1944; devoted mother of Thomas La Forge and his wife Marianne of Brooklyn, NY; John “Jack” La Forge and his wife Jane of Wayne; and James La Forge and his wife Deborah of Montclair; cherished grandmother of Amanda, Hilary, Ryan, Christopher, Anne, Nicholas, Brittany & Abigail; much loved great-grandmother of Luke, Patrick, Harrison & Charlotte; and loved sister of the late Norbert and Thomas Murray.
