Marjorie Anne Von Frantzius was born on September 24, 1928 the daughter of Harriet McDonald (deceased) and Peter Von Frantzius (deceased), beloved sister and best friend of Louise Bronoski (deceased), and sister in law to Daniel Bronoski; treasured Aunt to Christina Stanphill; and great aunt to Brianna Stanphill.
Marjorie received her Bachelor’s Degree in Art from Mundelein College in Chicago. She had a very creative career in art which included Illustration and Cartography for Encyclopedia Britannica, and Denoyer Geppert in Chicago. Marjorie’s skilled artistic nature moved her to Denver, Colorado in 1990 where she won numerous awards in watercolor paintings, and was a member of the Aurora Artists Guild and Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County.
Marjorie was one of the founding members of the Self Help for The Hard of Hearing, which later became Hearing Loss Association of America, Denver Chapter. Marjorie lovingly devoted years of dedication and services to the Hearing Loss Association of Denver supporting others with hearing loss.
One of our favorite memories of Marjorie is at her nieces wedding. Although she could not hear the music very well she danced longer than anyone else. May she listen to all of heavens music and create God’s art forever in our hearts.
Donations in memory of Marjorie can be made to Denver Chapter Hearing Loss Association of America c/o Bernard Steonberg, 1900 South Kearney Way, Denver, CO 80224-2307.
