Obituary

Sep 11, 2016

Fairport: Marjorie A. Wamer, 80, of 58 Park Circle Drive, Fairport, New York, passed peacefully on 25 August, 2016, at the Fairport Baptist Home, after a long illness.

Marge was born 21 September 1935, at Amsterdam, New York, the daughter of Earl and Hazel Cantine Houghton. She graduated from Gloversville High School, Class of 1953. She worked in the Gloversville School System as a secretary for several years, and later at Eastman Kodak Company in ' Rochester, as a secretary for several years. She married Rand Wamer 24 August 1957 at North Main Street Methodist Church, Gloversville, where they both sang in the choir. They moved to the Rochester, New York area in the fall of 1957. Marge was a highly respected and loved wife, mother, surrogate mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and great aunt, and was most revered by her husband, children, grandchildren, great grandson, nieces, and nephews.

Marge was a 58-year member of Asbury First United Methodist Church in Rochester, where she had been active in many activities over the years until recently; including Asbury Storehouse, Asbury Dining & Caring Center, Altar Guild, United Methodist Women Church Women United, Children's Ministry, Family Council, Double Ring Class, Fellowship Class, and Fifty Plus Fellowship Class. Marge volunteered at the Asbury Storehouse nearly 45 years, holding many positions, and also co-chairing their annual Basement Sale fund raiser for many years. Marge volunteered at the Asbury Dining & Caring Center for nearly 20 years, serving meals to the homeless. She also helped Asbury with refugee resettlement for Carnbodians, Laotians; and Vietnamese immigrants for years. She was active in philanthropy on many fronts. Marge was active for many years with the Rochester Chapter of National Railway Historical Society and the Genesee Valley Antique Car Society; helping both organizations for many years with different activities and events. She had played girl's basketball at Gloversville High School, was an avid Buffalo Bills football fan, bowled with the Two Timers League in Fairport, and enjoyed the Fairport Red Hat Ladies group.

Marge is survived by her husband of 59 years, Rand; brother, Donald Houghton of Mayfield; daughters, Wendy Corso of Macedon, Cheryl Wamet of Fairport; son, Gary Wamer of Bradenton, Florida; grandchildren, Nichole Corso-Green of Vero Beach, Florida, Nathan Corso of East Rochester, Nadine Corso of Macedon, Evan Warner and Mark Wamer of Bradenton, Florida, and great-grandson, Dominic Corso of East Rochester; plus many nieces and nephew, and step nieces. Marge was pre-deceased by her brother, David Houghton and her step-brother, Arthur Houghton. Marge loved her God, loved her family, and loved her fellow man. The world is surely a better place for her passing through. She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.

A memorial service for Marge will be held at Asbury First United Methodist Church, 1050 East Avenue, Rochester, New York, on 18 September 2016, at 2:00 pm. Donations in honor of Marge in lieu of flowers may be made to Asbury First United Methodist Church, 1050 East Avenue, Rochester, New York 14608, or to Fairport Baptist Home, 4646 Nine Mile Point, Road, Fairport, New York, 14450.
