Marjorie Anne Marmorstein

Marjorie Anne Ringstad Marmorstein was born on January 10, 1927, the third child of Myron Henry and Muriel Esther (Proctor) Ringstad in Tacoma, Washington. She grew up on Bainbridge Island and in the Seattle area with her sister, Elaine, and brother, Myron Jr. At a very young age, Marjorie set a goal to "Get married and repopulate the world with wonderful people." She achieved this goal by marrying Robert Marmorstein and having six children. Arthur (Donna) Marmorstein, Aberdeen, SD; Marc (Jill) Marmorstein, Roseville, Ca; Jody (Pamela) Marmorstein, Manchester, Mo; Paul (Anjeanette) Marmorstein, Lake Arrowhead, Ca; Eric (1960 - 1970) and Marta Jean (Jay) Linzy, El Dorado Hills, Ca. The legacy continues with 19 grandchildren, and, to date, 38 great grandchildren and two great, great grandchildren.

Marjorie received a Bachelor's Degree in journalism from the University of Washington in 1947. She then moved to San Francisco where she worked as a reporter and ad manager for the Daly City Record. It was there that she met her husband, Bob, while attending a folk dance class that he was teaching.

After marrying, Marjorie continued her education, earning a teaching credential in elementary education.

The family moved to El Dorado Hills in 1965 and became very active in the new community. Marjorie was a Cub Scout Den Mother, a Swim Team and Little League Parent and a substitute teacher for both the Buckeye and Rescue School Districts. She and Bob also began "The El Dorado Hills News Page" where they reported on events and issues happening in the community. The news was published weekly in The Cordovan Newspaper.

In 1970, Marjorie accepted a full-time job as a Special Education teacher at Plymouth Elementary School. She remained with the Amador County schools until her retirement in 1996.

After retirement Marjorie stayed busy with traveling, dancing, Church, Bible Study, Bridge and Cribbage Clubs as well as very active involvement with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Though slowed down by a stroke in 2021, Marjorie continued to live as full a life as possible. She especially loved spending time outdoors, visiting national and state parks and exploring local hiking trails and swimming holes. Marjorie also participated in many activities at the EDH Senior Center including line-dancing and ukulele.

Above all, Marjorie cherished visits with her family. She found the positive in every situation and the good in every person.

In addition to direct descendants, Marjorie is survived by her sister, Elaine, and numerous nieces, nephews and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bob, her son, Eric, her brother, Myron, her daughter-in-law, Pamela, and her granddaughter, Page.

Marjorie was a true matriarch of the family and set the bar high for all who follow. She will be greatly missed
