Marjorie, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 18, 2017 in Lansing, MI, with her daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter by her side. She was the daughter of Frederick Eugene and Mildred Louise May Cumming Clarke. She lived most of her life in Reading, MA.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 32 years, Charles E. Hammond, and her husband of seven years, Joseph D. Kennedy.
She is survived by daughter Carol A. White and her husband, Andy, of New Castle, NH; daughter Barbara H. Borchgrevink and her husband, Carl, of East Lansing, MI; stepdaughter-in-law, Judy Kennedy of Brentwood, NH; and stepson Timothy Kennedy and his wife, Leslie, of Pelham, NH. She is also survived by her twin sister, Louise M. Patriquin of Leeds, MA; four grandchildren, Matthew White and his wife, Elaine, David White and his wife, Julie, Peter Borchgrevink and his wife, Kristen, Laura Borchgrevink and five great grandchildren.
Marjorie graduated from Reading Memorial High School in 1939 and the Malden Business School in 1943.

During high school she was a member of the Order of Rainbow for Girls in Reading and served as the Worthy Advisor for a term.

During her years with Charlie, the family enjoyed annual two week stays in a log cabin at Willard Brook State Park in Ashby, MA. She enjoyed playing cribbage and canasta her entire life and was an extremely competitive player. Doing jigsaw puzzles and walking outdoors were lifelong activities she enjoyed. Her daughters remember the birthday parties she used to organize for them when they were children with games, prizes, and refreshments. Marjorie's greatest delight was always her family.
