Marjorie A. Loveland (Curren)

March 8, 1943 - August 19, 2024

Marjorie A. Loveland, passed away peacefully on August 19, 2024, surrounded by her loving

family. Born on March 8, 1943, in Elizabeth, NJ, Marjorie was the devoted wife of Robert

Charles Loveland, with whom she shared a lifetime of love and companionship.

Marjorie was the cherished mother of Sharon Loveland, David Loveland, and Michele Dragos

and is remembered fondly by her granddaughters Courtney Rodberg, Meagan Thistle, Allison

Obiso, Emily Dragos, and Natalie Dragos. Her great-grandchildren, Penelope and Caleb

McCullough, brought immeasurable joy to her life. Marjorie was also a loving sister to Edna

Fischer, Claire Laney, and Sharon Hackett, and she leaves behind a close-knit extended family.

She is preceded in death by her son, David M. Loveland; her mother, Margaret Helen Kohl; her

sister, Edna B. Fischer; and her grandmother, Anna G. Kohl.

Marjorie had a passion for music, dancing, and playing the piano. She delighted in reading a

good romance novel, gardening, and baking, especially her famous Christmas cookies, which

were eagerly anticipated each and every year. Marjorie also enjoyed playing games with

friends, particularly dominoes, aggravation (‘marbles’), and bunco. Beating her husband, ‘Bob’,

would always bring a mischievous smile to her face.

Known for her determination, spunk, and wit, Marjorie was a woman who knew what she

wanted. She was unwavering in her care, support, and love, often opening not just her heart,

but also her home. Her infectious laugh, her warm blue-eyed gaze, and her legacy as the

steadfast matriarch of her family will be remembered and cherished by all who had the privilege

of knowing and loving her.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Marjorie's memory to the

Alzheimer’s Foundation, honoring her life and the love she shared.

A Celebration of Life for Marjorie will be held on Saturday, Sept 28th, 2024 at 11:00 AM at St

Andrew United Methodist Church—1528 Church Road, Toms River. A repass will be held

directly following in the church’s Fellowship Hall.
