She had been actively involved in her local community of Manly for over 40 years and described herself as a dedicated housewife and the mother of two grown children. Marjorie Moffitt had been involved in church-based groups such as the Girls Friendly Society and the Christian Endeavour Brigade, as well as local soup kitchens for the homeless and destitute.
