Marjorie Ann Naidorf

Marjorie Ann Naidorf, 85, of Annandale, Virginia, died peacefully on April 15, 2018 at the Greenspring Retirement Community in Springfield, Virginia. She was born on January 31, 1933 in Topeka, Kansas to Irving and Tauba Pressman. She attended the University of Missouri, where she studied music, and then graduated from the University of Texas in 1954 with a degree in early childhood education. Her membership in the Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority brought lifelong joy. In 1954, she married the late Sherman Lee Naidorf to whom she was married for 58 years. They moved to Northern Virginia that year where they raised their sons Tobin and Robert. Marjorie began her career at Tuckahoe Elementary School in Arlington, Virginia and then taught for 22 years at Parklawn Elementary School in Fairfax County. In 1984, she was nominated as the teacher of the year in Fairfax County. Marjorie joined Beth El Hebrew congregation after arrival in Northern Virginia and engaged actively in the community including several years of teaching in the religious school. She joined the Annandale Women’s club and stayed active for over three decades. After 23 years, she retired as a full time teacher but kept active as a substitute teacher and reading volunteer at Parklawn. In 1993, her fondest dreams were realized when she became a grandmother to twins Leah and Benjamin and again two years later to Adam. She enjoyed travel with her dear husband Sherman until his premature loss to Parkinson’s disease in 2013. She loved to read the newspaper and novels, play bridge, and play Mah Jong with the new friends that she made when she moved to Greenspring Village in 2015. Marjorie is survived by her sons Toby (wife Joan) and Bob (wife Charlene), her grandchildren Leah, Benjamin, and Adam, and her sister Doris Stern of Springfield, IL. Funeral services will be held on April 19 at 11:00 am at Beth El Hebrew Congregation 3830 Seminary Road, Alexandria, Virginia with internment to follow at King David Memorial Gardens. Memorial donations may be made in Marjorie’s name to the Endowment Fund of Beth El Hebrew Congregation or the Annandale Women’s club.
