Young Marjorie's parents then moved to Bedford, north of London, just prior to the "Battle of Britain," while Marjorie moved back to Woolwich to work in the munitions factory as one of Winston Churchill's citizen-soldiers. It was here that the impact of the "Blitz" was most concentrated.

Marjorie was retired from Lykes-Pasco Packing Co. In her retirement, she painted and did beautiful needlework, which won many blue ribbons at the Pasco County Fair. Marjorie will be more fondly remembered for helping raise generations of children of friends in the Dade City area. During the summer months, she traveled to England to the home she shared with her husband, Leonard V. Green, who predeceased her in 1998.
