Marjorie Ann (Daggett) Jeffery, age 78 of Trumbull, died Tuesday, September 1, 2009 at Bridgeport Hospital, surrounded by her family, from complications due to her recent battle with cancer. Marjorie was born in Conneaut, Ohio to the late Theodore and Gladys Daggett.   She  is survived by her husband of 56 years, Donald; daughters Jane, Holly and Megan of California, Vermont and Massachusetts, respectively; son, Scott, and his wife, Karin, of Trumbull; son, Craig, and his wife, Suzanne, of Peachtree City, GA; sister, Margaret Weidler; brother, Donald Daggett; fourteen grandchildren;  and many cousins, nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her brother, Richard Daggett. Educated in Ohio and Pennsylvania public schools, she earned a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Flora Stone Mather College at Western Reserve University in Cleveland and taught for several years in the Bedford Ohio public schools. She then raised five children, a job she relished, especially the family camping vacations. She moved to Trumbull in 1972 and was active in many area religious and charitable endeavors, including being a founding officer of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Bridgeport. She was a certified lay speaker in the United Methodist Church, and preached at local Methodist churches over the years, utilizing her skills as an avid and practiced Biblical story-teller.  Marjorie also had a penchant and talent for craft-making and created many beautiful banners and unique hand-crafted cards for her church, friends, and family.  She was a lifetime learner, particularly enjoying the study of languages and teaching others. At age 75, she studied diligently to learn about income tax preparation and worked with her son in that field for three years. The family would like to thank the ICU staff at Bridgeport Hospital for their care of Marjorie in her final days.
