Subject: Passing of one of the St Lucie members


Hello all,
Wanted to pass on to everyone that our oldest member, Marjorie O'Quinn, 
passed away on July 1. She was 102 yrs old.


Marjorie would come to the meetings with her caregiver, Hilda Ortiz, and 
would reminisce about the "old Fort Pierce days" and what it was like! Most 
of us have no idea what those years were like! Marjorie was a gem!


Please keep Hilda in your prayers as she was family to Marjorie, not just a 
caregiver. Since our chapter is small, we are all aching with this loss.


Marjorie will be sadly missed, but we know she is in a much better place!

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the 
characteristic that defines a person or our future. Every day, NFB raises 
the expectations of people who are blind because low expectations create 
obstacles between people who are blind and  our dreams. You can have the 
life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
