Dwight ’46

obituary | Marjorie Sherrif Rhode | Dwight 1946

From the Mercadante Funeral Home & Chapel’s website, we learned of the passing of devoted Dwight Alumna class leader, Marjorie Sherrif Rohde, “Dr. Marjorie S Rhode Ph.D., 93 of Spencer, formerly of Franklin and New York City, passed away on April 14, 2021, after a period of declining health.

Marjorie was born in Detroit, Michigan, the daughter of Lesliy M. and Lois (Wilde) Sherriff. Raised in New Jersey, Marjorie graduated from the Dwight School for Girls and earned her Bachelor’s degree, Masters’ degree, and Ph.D. from Boston University. Marjorie, sensing a need to serve her country, joined the U.S. Navy during the Korean War, serving proudly as an LTJG. Upon discharge, she met and married Dr. Max S. Rohde and lived in love in the New York City area until Max passed away in 1972. Marjorie then moved to Cape Cod, Attleboro, and the Wrentham areas. She has lived in Spencer for several years. Marjorie practiced psychology with a focus on children. She wrote and published several books and articles for medical magazines while in her practice. Marjorie also bred show dogs while living on Cape Cod with her husband.

She is survived by friends and former patients who loved her dearly: “Marjorie enjoyed reading, writing, gardening, nature, and the woods. “
