Marjorie Janet (Phillips) Hudacek, September 22, 1925 – February 27, 2024, Chico, California. Marjorie died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family at her side.

Marjorie and John began their married life in Quincy, California. Later they moved to Redding, Willows and Chico. Marj was a woman of deep faith who loved her God, her church and family immensely. She had a fondness for the Trappist Abbey in Vina, California and all the friends she made through her church involvement in Quincy, Willows and Our Divine Savior in Chico. She saw life as an adventure and enjoyed every moment of it. Mom had a force of presence that exuded grace and dignity.

She was known for her knitting, weaving, pine needle basket making and many other creative endeavors. She did not like to hear “No, it can’t be done.” She would always find another way. She had a curious mind and always questioned how things worked. Thank you, Mom, for being an awesome mother and friend. You will be deeply missed.
