Marjorie Meleen, formally of Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, passed away Saturday, August 29, 2020 at the age of 93, surrounded by loving family, in Port Republic Maryland.

Born April 12, 1927, in Springfield, Massachusetts to the late Rupert Hartley Edes and Dorothy May Loiselle, she later met and married Charles Raymond Meleen, Sr. also of Springfield, Massachusetts. They moved to Charles County Maryland in 1953 where they built, owned and operated a motel and restaurant.

As a breast cancer survivor and first born of seven children, she is survived by her brother, Lionel Edes; children: Charles Meleen, Jr., William Meleen, Susan Edes Meleen, and Jayne Parish; loving granddaughter, Jessica Marjorie Jacobs and her fiance, Mark Ramsey; grandson, Jeffrey Charles Jacobs and his wife, Brenda Jacobs; great grandchildren: Corinne Jacobs, Camron Jacobs-Ramirez, Aubree Jacobs and Harper Jacobs.

Marjorie Meleen loved life, being with her family, boating, reading, yardsales, and living on the Bay. You never saw Marge without a smile. Those who loved her most, called her Nana.

Donations in her memory may be made to Calvert Hospice.
