She was born April 10, 1928 in Hartford, Connecticut. She is preceded in death by her Father and Mother, the late Fred and Eva Neal, and her Brother Frank Cauldwell aka Uncle Junior. Her youth was spent in the Bronx, NY. She graduated from Central Commercial High School.

She was a long-time resident of the Bronx where she lived since leaving her childhood home. 

Marjorie was married to James DuBose (who preceded her in death) and out of that marriage had a son, Young Dubose (aka Poppy). Her second marriage was to Eldred Boston who also preceded her in death; from that union she bore two more children, Denyse (aka Nesie) and Brett Boston.  

While living in the Bronx, NY she worked as an Office Aide for the New York City Housing Authority for many years until retirement.

She was a great cook, loved to sew and had a passion for making everything from clothing to curtains, pocketbooks and the like and a collector of fine African art figures and Jewelry. One of her greatest passions was traveling regularly to flea markets here in NY and even venturing out to New Jersey where she was adept at finding the best of items. She was a very spiritual woman who lived with the faith of God on her side. Much loved by everyone and anyone who knew her.
