Marjorie Marie Albee Doss,R.N., Clarks Summit, died Thursday at Mountain View Care Center, Scranton. Her husband was the late Alfred Smith Doss, Jr.
Born and raised in Orange, MA, she was the daughter of the late Hugh Myron and Georgetta Miller Schmid Albee. Marjorie graduated from Orange High School in 1938. From the time she was a young girl she wanted to be a nurse, and graduated from nurses' training at Springfield Hospital (now Baystate Medical Center) in Springfield, MA. She was always very patriotic and proud of her service as a Navy nurse during WWII. She later worked in nursing at Chicago General, Long Beach Veteran's Hospital, Riverside City Hospital in Riverside, California and retired from Allied Services Rehab Hospital at the age of 75.
Marjorie was an avid doll collector, and loved to read and garden. She shared her father's love and knowledge of rocks, gems and minerals. She took many camping trips with her husband and children from Riverside, CA; hunting for rocks in the deserts of the western United States. She loved music and was an accomplished harmonica player. She instilled in her children a deep appreciation of music. She was a beautiful whistler, and had a wonderful sense of humor. She was very knowledgeable in nutrition and the use of supplements, crediting this for her good health and longevity.
Surviving are her daughter, Judith Doss, Clarks Summit; a son, Alfred Smith Doss III; a sister, Janet Elizabeth Dwelley, Maine; five grandchildren, Sean Joseph Doss, Erin Jean Doss, Rachel Megan Doss, Michelle G. Long and Matthew D. Long; several great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
