Obituary of Marjorie E. Dorman

She was born, January 19th, 1947 in Gloversville, is the daughter of the late Arnold Edwards and Doris Cosselman Wood. She attended school in Gloversville and was a homemaker for many years.

After her children were grown, she went to work as a teacher’s aide at Park Terrace Elementary School, Gloversville. She also worked at Mohawk-Finishing Products, Amsterdam. Her work would end where she started as a devoted wife, mother, and later a grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved spending time with her family and friends no matter where it was, together they would enjoy a hot coffee or cold beer, while playing pull tabs or singing karaoke. But if you came to her home for a visit, one thing is for sure, there was always a hot pot of coffee on. She loved country music and dancing, which comes from years of seeing her brother Larry’s band perform.
