MARJORIE LOUISE DIMENT
October 8, 1941 ˜ June 10, 2020
Marjorie L. Diment passed away June 10, 2020, at the age of 78. She was better-known as “Marge” to her family and friends. She was born October 8, 1941 in Oak Park, IL to Vernon and Marjorie Mrazek. For her entire adult life, Majorie resided in Clark County, WA.
Marjorie grew up in Elmhurst, IL and San Bernardino, CA, where she graduated from San Bernardino High School in 1959. Majorie placed great value on higher education, and she graduated with a degree in pharmacy from Oregon State University in 1964. Marjorie enjoyed a long career in retail pharmacy, to include 30 years at the Kaiser Permanente Pharmacy in Vancouver, WA.
Outside of pharmacy, Marjorie’s true passions included traveling, gardening, reading and spending time with her beloved cocker spaniels. She had a true appreciation for the different cultures she was able to witness during her times of travel, and she had an unwavering love for animals. She was a quiet, humble person who valued deep-seated relationships.
Marjorie was very close with her brother Robert Mrazek. She was a generous and charitable person, providing substantial support to her family’s education and a variety of chartable organizations.
Marjorie is survived by her son, Michael Diment; her daughter, Lisa Diment, her granddaughter, Haley Diment, her daughter-in-law, Laurie Diment and daughter-in-law, Lisa Harrison.

I continue to think of my friendship with Margie very often. We exchanged many gifts over the years and every time I see one of them around my house, it brings back a fond memory. She did help out a number of people by letting them stay with her. She was always concerned with others and made sure that they were treated fairly. We took our daughters to the beach one rainy weekend. We attended musicals and concerts fairly regularly including a couple of years going to the bravo concerts at St Joseph church. I miss her a lot. Rest in peace, Margie

I know that this is really late but I am sorry for your loss. Marge was a wonderful mentor. She let my daughter and I stay with her one summer (1997) while I was doing my internship for pharmacy school. As a single parent, this was a blessing. I still remember that she had honeysuckle popourri in her bathroom that I love. I still have a honeysuckle candle next to my desk. I appreciated her and thought of her often. Blessings.

Margie was a very special friend and coworker. She was my preceptor in 1984 and I learned so many things from her in our over 30 years of working together. Her work and life ethic was exceptional. She always looked out for those around her and freely gave of her time to those in need. She was one of the most giving people I have ever had the pleasure to know. She used to rollerblade around the Kaiser parking lot. She loved to Kayak and enjoyed all sorts of other activities. I will miss our many conversations, all her great stories and lunch dates so very much. Rest In Peace my dear little Margie.

I was lucky to work with Marge at the Kaiser Vancouver medical office. I remember her organization of annual back to school supplies drive and how she was always the most generous donor. What a wonderful person. I am sorry for your loss.

Margie (as we called her) was a force in my early childhood. She was strong and independent, kind and encouraging, disciplined and fair. Values I brought with me into adulthood. I was sorry to see that she had passed. Almost every fond childhood memory includes her and her daughter Lisa. You are a sweet soul Margie! Your impact has been great! Rest peacefully! Thinking of you Lisa and Mike!

Marge was my first inspiration to go into Pharmacy. I first met her as a high school junior when my mother, Myrtle Wanke, provided daycare for Michael. And I still remember painting the interior doors in her house.
