MERIDEN, CT - (From Wallingford Funeral Home) Marjorie E. Carlson of St Johns, FL, formerly of Meriden was called home to our Lord on Monday, August 23, 2021.

She passed away at her home surrounded by her family. She was the wife of the late Charles Carlson.

Marjorie was born in South Meriden on July 20, 1938 to the late Charles and Cora (Irwin) Ennis.

She leaves behind a hole that can never be filled in the hearts of her children, Darleen (Christopher) Finegan, John (Barbara) Carlson, Lori (Douglas) Zimmerman, Noreen (Michael) Piscitelli, Charles Carlson Sr., and Terri (Greg) Barnette.

In addition to her children, she is survived by her grandchildren, Kathleen, Daniel, John Jr, Jennifer, Elizabeth, Stephanie, James, Christian, Joshua, Michael, Rachel, Stephen, Anthony, Ashley, Jeffrey, Jordan, Alex, Gregory and Brandon and 24 great grandchildren.

She is survived by her brother Randy Ennis. She was predeceased by her brothers, Thomas, John and Robert as well as her sister Eleanor. She leaves behind her sister-in law Helen Ennis and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Marjorie enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It was rare that her lap would not have any one of them sitting on it or next to it.

She loved Jesus and would speak of him often.

She enjoyed her dogs and cats, traveling, shopping (QVC has lost a major customer), collecting dolls and glass chickens, and watching old movies.

She was much more than what she enjoyed doing.

She was a caring, kind and loving person with never a negative word to say about anyone. She saw the good in others. A piece of all of us was taken the day she was called home. Jesus has gained a beautiful soul.

Her family will receive relatives and friends in The Wallingford Funeral Home, 809 N. Main St. Ext., Friday, October 1st, from 10 to 11 am.

A funeral service will follow in the funeral home at 11 am. Interment will be in Walnut Grove Cemetery in Meriden.
