MARJORIE A. GARVEY, age 95, passed away on August 20, 2017.
She was the beloved wife of the late Thomas J. Garvey. Born and raised in Chester, PA, she graduated from Chester High School. She was a resident of Brookhaven, PA, for 30 years while raising her family; then she spent 30 years of retirement in Barefoot Bay, FL, and in her 90's she lived with her granddaughter, Colleen and grandson-in-law, Richard Simmers in Burlington, NJ.
She dearly loved "her Tommy," her children and grandchildren, her nieces and nephews, her dear brother and sister. She was hostess at the Tea Room in Swarthmore, PA, for 20 plus years where she learned of the attack on Pearl Harbor while serving Sunday dinner! Marjorie cherished her summers in Cape May, NJ, hosting family get-togethers, loved writing notes and keeping in touch with family and her many friends, "fishing" vacations with Tom up and down the east coast and Barefoot Bay activities with "the gang" - who are all gone now.
Margie's favorite saying was "I had a wonderful life"! And she WAS a wonder of love and kindness to all her family and friends.
Daughter of the late Eugene A. and Mabel (nee Williams) Glenney; she was predeceased by her siblings Eugene (Ooge) Glenney and Mary Glenney Zimmerman.
She is survived by daughter Jean (Salvatore) DeMarco and by son, Thomas J. (Donna) Garvey, Jr. both of Florida. Also survived by 4 grandchildren: Colleen (Richard) Simmers, William (Emily) McVeigh, Katie Garvey and Tommy Garvey and by many much loved nieces and nephews.
Interment will take place at Sebastian Memorial Cemetery, Sebastian, Florida.
