Marjorie Estelle Falla Sept. 14, 1925 - Jan. 26, 2007
Resident of Rossmoor Marge was born in Casper, Wyoming to Edward and Daisy Bailey.
She moved with her parents to Boswell, Oklahoma at the age of 9.
Marge was a child of the Depression, and like many of her generation learned to appreciate the simple things that many of us today take for granted.
After graduating from Boswell High School, she attended Northeastern State Junior College in Wilburton, Oklahoma.
She received her BA from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater.
She was trained as a clinical lab technician at Charity Hospital in New Orleans.
It was then that she moved to the East Bay and worked at UC Berkeley and later Highland Hospital.
Marge was married in 1957.
She and her husband lived in Mexico City for a year, then settled in San Juan, Puerto Rico where her three children, Jeanne, Danny, and Joyce were born.
The family returned to the Bay area where Marge raised her children and resumed her career at Highland Hospital.
She eventually retired as the supervisor of the Blood Bank.
Marge had a passion for doing things well.
It was evident in all that she did.
She designed and patented a product (Pre-Dent) that insured the accuracy between patient identification and blood samples.
She was an accomplished artist.
When she was not at home, she could be found in the ceramics studio at Rossmoor.
She loved pottery, carving gourds, wood burning and quilting.
Her work has been included in the art exhibits at Rossmoor and she was the featured artist in the Rossmoor paper.
After her retirement, Marge traveled to many parts of the world, including Japan, Canada, the Southwest, Hawaii, and a cruise down the Rhine.
Marge enjoyed her family, and her life was enhanced by the many friendships that developed during her time in the Rossmoor community.
She especially treasured the time she spent with her two grandsons.
Her ex-husband, Walter Falla, preceded Marge in death.
She is survived by her three children, Jeanne Falla (Walnut Creek), Danny Falla (San Diego), Joyce Baculpo and her husband, Lerek (Concord); and two grandsons, Kyle and Nicholas Fassbinder (Concord).
She also leaves behind a sister, Laurice Cuculich (Merced); and a brother, Walton Bailey (Pampa, Texas); and many nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday, February 3, 2007 in the Diablo Room at the Hillside Clubhouse at Rossmoor in Walnut Creek.
Arrangements by the Trident Society, (925) 932-2799.
