Marjorie L. Koepke passed away on Friday, March 6, 2015. Marge was born Marjorie Louise Ham on Aug. 6, 1922 in New York City. She lived in Pennsylvania, Florida, Indiana, Washington, DC, Ohio, Illinois and for the past 30 years in Fountain Hills.
Marjorie attended school at Carnegie Melon University and Indiana University. She also served our country during WWII in the Navy where she met her husband, Robert C. Koepke.
Bob and Marjorie were married in 1946 and were together just shy of 40 years, until Bob’s passing in 1986.
Marge and Bob adopted two sons, Kevin R. Koepke, who passed away in 1981, and Brian R. Koepke, who resides in Fountain Hills. Marge is also survived by many wonderful nieces and nephews across the country.
Marjorie was particularly proud of the 20-plus years of volunteering at Scottsdale Healthcare Shea and all the wonderful friends she met there through the years.
If you are able, please join us for a memorial service to be held on Wednesday, March 25, at 10 a.m. at the Fountain Hills Presbyterian Church, 13001 Fountain Hills Blvd.
