Marjory Kathrine Moon, 75,
from Ann Arbor Michigan,
bought a one way ticket to St.
Peter’s all-inclusive, somewhere
between the third star on
the right and straight on till
morning. Marj wasn’t sure about
the margaritas, but the views
are apparently unparalleled. She
was surrounded by a group (standing room only) of friends and
family when she passed somewhat suddenly from some crazy kind
of fluke medical thing (it’s a lot of mumbo jumbo). But she wanted
you to know that her passing was swift, painless, and no bull. She
wouldn’t have it any other way.
In life, Marj Moon was not only graced by the greatest name
alliteration had ever seen, she also benefited from the God-given
talent of communication. You see, Marj could walk into any room,
anywhere in the world, and immediately add to her fan club. She was
that good. But more than a talker, she was a listener. Wherever she
went, it was always the other person who was the most important.
In fact, Marj could make you feel like you were the only one in the
building.
She was also a wizard in the kitchen, a politician at the garage
sale, the ultimate comrade at Coors Tek, and the eternal hope of
HopeWest. She was a cinephile, a gardener, and a reader. To date,
her nightstand boasts a tower 15 books high. But talking about
Marj wasn’t really Marj. She’d rather brag about her dog, Rozie, or
debate current events. The fact that you’re even reading this would
probably get you the finger. You should be out in the yard.
Marj is preceded in death by her parents; sister, Mary, and
brother-in-law, Jerry. She’s survived by her son, Mark Moon Jr.;
daughter, Mary Meola; son-in-law, Mario Meola; brothers, Robert,
Nick, and Tom Rayer, and sisters, Mick and Sal. Her legacy extends
to 23 nieces and nephews; special grandsons, Kristofer Hamrick,
Blake and Carter Cloutier; granddaughter, Cathy Prugar; greatgrandson, Isaac Prugar, and literally everyone she ever met. She
married Mark Moon Sr. in 1963, and saw him at her side with her
last breath.
Instead of flowers, Marj would prefer that you live well, laugh
often, love much, and get the heck outside.
Hey Marj, we loved you to the moon and back.
A Celebration of her life will be held at Callahan-Edfast Mortuary
on Monday, January 20, 2020, at 2:00p.m.
