Marjorie McKenna

Marjorie A. McKenna, 70, of Brookfield, CT, formerly of Norwalk CT, Bethel, CT and Venice, FL passed away after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease on November 30th at her home surrounded by her family. She was the wife of Geoffrey E. McKenna.

Born on June 25, 1940 in Suffern, NY, daughter to the late Alvin and Margaret (Kerekes) deFreese, Marge was a graduate of Norwalk High School Class of 1959.
She was an avid gardener, beachcomber, race fan, and loved crafting and spending time in the outdoors including RV camping with her family and friends. Tireless and selfless she would often volunteer her time to assist various charitable causes, always willing to lend a hand up to those in need, providing counsel or simply listening, and quite often would have a house full of young people - but always passionate about her family and enjoyed family gatherings most of all.

She leaves her husband Geoffrey; her sons Jeffrey, Arthur and his wife Annette, brother Craig deFreese and wife Barbara, grandchildren Lauren, Morgan and Jackson, all of CT; her brother Robert deFreese of Florida, stepmother Ann Brodie deFreese of OH; step brothers Bruce, Eden and wife Patsy of OH, and Chris and his wife Ginny of KS; her sister-in-law Jackie Quast and her husband Hal of GA; many cousins and several nieces and nephews.
Memorial contributions can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association CT Chapter, 2075 Silas Deane Highway, Suite 100 Rocky Hill, CT 06067 or online at www.alz.org/ct

Memorial services will be held at the convenience of the family.
