Marjorie Louise “Marge” Jenna, 102, beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, passed away on October 28, 2020, in Lacey, Washington.  She was born Marjorie Louise Daly in Winnepeg, Manitoba, Canada, on July 4, 1918, to Eugene Francis Daly and Lucie Adella Daly.  Marge moved to Seattle with her family and graduated from Lincoln High School.  Following graduation, Marge moved to California and then to Olympia, where she worked as an administrative assistant in the Torts Division of the State Attorney General’s office.
