In 1941, she was named to the NC State Field Hockey Team. She graduated from Guilford in 1945. In 1950, Marjorie married Robert J. Kerr.

She was a member of Media Friends Meeting where she served on several committees, was co-editor of a Meeting newsletter for many years, and helped with the Homeless Feeding Program. She enjoyed music, reading, word games, and baseball, especially the Phillies.
She is survived by two sons and their wives, Robert A. (Jo-Ann) of Wilmington, Delaware and David A.
