MARJORIE ANNE FRUGÉ

1937-2018

Marjorie was born in Crowley, Louisiana, the sixth sibling in a family of nine. She is preceded in death by her parents Leah LaFosse and Daniel Herman Frugé, her brothers Daniel Joseph Frugé, Monsignor Edward David Frugé and Monsignor Donald James Frugé, and sisters Leah Jane Frugé Hodges and Elizabeth Lois Frugé Gonsoulin. She is survived by her sisters Barbara Frugé Boylston and her husband William; Yvonne Frugé Breaux and her husband Kenneth; and Tessie Frugé Patterson and her husband Guy, all of Houston, as well as a large extended family.

She graduated from Academy of the Sacred Heart in Grand Coteau, Louisiana, and Loyola University in New Orleans, Louisiana.

A longtime resident of Houston, Marjorie was a passionate volunteer, giving of her time and talents to a number of causes. She worked with an AIDs respite team, helping patients with HIV during the 1980s. She also volunteered at her church in many capacities and was a member of the Charity Guild of Catholic Women, volunteering in their consignment shop.

Throughout her life, she was a strong supporter of a Jesuit education. She funded a scholarship in Social Justice at her alma mater, Loyola University New Orleans, as well as another in honor of Reverend T. J. Martinez at Cristo Rey College Preparatory, a Jesuit high school in Houston.

The family would like to thank May Cole and her loving staff at Autumn Years Living/Overbrook who cared for Marge in her final months. They would also like to thank Houston Hospice for their care and guidance.

A memorial mass and reception will be held in Louisiana at a later date. The family recommends remembrances be made as a donation to Houston Hospice, 1905 Holcombe Blvd, Houston, TX 77030-4123 or to the charity of your choice.
