Marguerite was born to Harold and Mary Elizabeth Voorhees. A large portion of her childhood was spent in Niagara Falls, NY where she recalled being picked up for her first date in a horse-drawn buggy. Marguerite attended St. Mary's of Notre Dame and, though she was unable to attend, she was the first woman ever admitted to Loyola Law School. In later years, she was accepted into American Mensa and became an Oblate of the Benedictine religious order. In 1966, she moved with her immediate family to Tucson, where she worked for the Tucson Council of the Arts and was an Executive for many years at Old Tucson Studios. In her later years, Marguerite taught Convention Management at Pima Community College and authored a textbook on the topic which is still in circulation. Marguerite enjoyed playing bridge, spending time with family and friends and sharing the countless stories of her varied life experiences. Marguerite is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Marti and David Lorenzen of San Tan Valley; and her sister, Karen Bell, of Bonifay, Florida, along with several nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Catholic Community Services of Southern Arizona. Arrangements by EAST LAWN PALMS MORTUARY.
