Marjorie Calu Obituary
Marjorie Calu
April 3, 2023
Marge Calu passed away on 3 April 2023 at 96 years young. She was born in Colorado Springs to Marvin and Arlie Hamilton and grew up on the family farm south of Yoder, She was the youngest of 4 kids.
She took her first job right out of Blair College with Kingsolver, White, Griffiths & Johnson and stayed there 58 years. She then went to a smaller firm with many of her clients and stayed for 6 years. At 91 she stopped driving and finally retired.
She loved doing jigsaw puzzles, reading the funnies, and the Rockies. She was always a sweet soul and clearly loved her family, friends and clients.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Marvin and Shorty; and sister, Maxine. She also lost both her daughters, Vickie and Nancy.
Loved survivors who carry on her legacy include her sons, Keith, Greg and Steve (wife, Connie); her grandchildren, Jeremy, Amber, Frank, and Casi; and ten great-grandchildren, that are all ages from 20 years to only weeks old.
She is so dear to us all and we will love her until the end of time.
Her service (which she didn't really want) will be at 2pm, the 27th of April 2023 at the Shrine of Remembrance.
Her ashes will be interred in her mother's grave in a family service the following day.
