Obituary- Guerich, Marjorie

Marjorie Pearl Guerich
Marjorie Pearl Guerich, 91, of St. Marys, died March 23 after an extended illness. “Marj” passed away peacefully at St. Marys Manor surrounded by family members.

Born Nov. 1, 1922, on a farm in Sandy Hook, near Rossville, Marj was the eldest of six children of Thomas M. and Florence G. Doyle Pearl. She attended James Grade School in rural Shawnee County and was a graduate of Immaculate Conception Catholic High School in 1940.

She studied in East Chicago, Ill., and St. Louis, Mo., to become a nationally registered radiologic technologist. She worked at Topeka State Hospital for 27 years before retiring in 1987.

Marj was a longtime member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, the Daughters of Isabella Little Flower Circle, Kansans for Life, the Kansas Authors Club, the Wamego Writers Roundtable, Kevin Club, Kansas Historical So-ciety, Kansas Association of Public Employees and the American Legion Auxiliary. She wrote stories about her life as a hobby and was active as a community hospice volunteer. She also was a frequent visitor of the residents at St. Marys Manor.

An energetic traveler who toured a variety of national and international venues over the years, Marj was an excellent cook who loved to entertain relatives and friends at special dinners and holiday celebrations in her home. As an elder of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Marj was extremely proud of her Native American heritage. During the Jesuit-Potawatomi Days in October 1998, she oversaw the preparations for St. Marys’ celebration of the 150th anniversary of the local Jesuit mission’s founding. A devout Roman Catholic, she was an avid supporter of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits).

Her children, Ann Marie Dobson and husband Al of Manhattan, and Clement Joseph “C.J.” Guerich of Lawrence survive.

Marj was the proud grandmother of Amy Marie
