Marjorie J. Streit

Marjorie J. Streit, age 79, passed away on Thursday, July 10, 2025, at Christiana Hospital in Newark, DE.

Marjorie was a proud graduate of Wesley College where she earned an associate of Arts degree. Over her lifetime, she worked as a flight attendant and as an accountant for several companies before retiring from M & T Bank. She was an avid crafter whose creativity was well ahead of her time. Marjorie was a member of the Paws for People organization with her dog, Sophie, where the two of them would visit libraries for children to read to Sophie. Always seeking to increase her knowledge, she attended many lifelong learning classes.

She is preceded in death by her husband, William M. Streit, her parents, James S. Biddle, and Elizabeth D. Biddle, as well as her sister, Elizabeth B. Johnson (Kenneth). She is survived by her brother, James W. Biddle (Paula), her sister, Barbara L. Richardson (Raymond), four nieces, and one nephew.

Those that she leaves behind will always cherish the memories and love that they shared with Marjorie.

I got to know Marj through her work with PAWS. She would often tell me how much Sophie enjoyed the children and the children enjoyed Sophie! She never made it about herself. The best volunteers don’t do it for themselves, they do it for others. Marj, thank you for being one of the best! So missed you will be!

Marj was our faithful PAWS for People volunteer at the library where I work in the Children's Room. I was scheduled for Saturday mornings when she and Sophie visited. The children ADORED Sophie, and Marj loved sharing Sophie with them, and many other age groups. It gave her joy to see Sophie bringing joy to others. Marj and I enjoyed getting to know each other. We shared a love for knitting and I enjoyed hearing her speak of her many experiences as an airline employee. I am so deeply saddened to learn of her passing. She will be very fondly remembered and very SORELY missed by myself and the families at our library.

I am so saddened. I was away a lot this summer and have been wondering where she's/they've been... I'm a neighbor and a friend. Marge and Sophie frequently spend time in my yard while Sophie covered me with kisses and hair, Marge and I would talk about life and the things she loved to do. All mentioned above. She will be greatly missed as well as Sophie. 💞
