Marjorie Jean Kluck, age 81 of Milford, DE, formerly of Oxnard, CA, passed away on Thursday, November 1, 2018 at Life Care at Lofland Park in Seaford, DE. She was born in St John's, Newfoundland, Canada on June 16, 1937, daughter of the late John J. and Ella May (Gorman) Ryan. Mrs. Kluck immigrated from Newfoundland, Canada and retained great pride in her heritage as a "Newfoundlander" throughout her life. She enjoyed a lifelong career in childcare, which gave her an outlet for her nurturing nature. Mrs. Kluck was very involved in her community, including being a Brownie and Girl Scout Troop Leader. She always looked forward to weekly game nights and bowling with her friends. Mrs. Kluck's life revolved around her beloved family, who were the joy of her life. Her greatest pride was making her home, raising her children and grandchildren, and giving out treats from her infamous candy drawer. A true matriarch, Mrs. Kluck was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. In addition to her parents, Mrs. Kluck was preceded in death by her sister, Doreen Andrews in 1998; and her brother, Patrick Ryan in 2016. She is survived by the "Frick" to her "Frack", the love of her life, best friend, and husband of 57 years, Harold H. Kluck of Milford, DE; her daughters: Carol Jean Kluck of Medford, NJ; and Helen June Kluck of Bellingham, WA; her adored grandchildren: Brandon Ryan and Astrid Fabiola; her brothers: Mike Ryan and Fred Ryan, both of St. John's, Newfoundland; her sisters: Ella Bada and her husband Tanny of Lewes, DE and Dorothy Powers of St. John's Newfoundland; her brother-in-law, Dennis Kluck (Doreen) of Deer Lodge, MT; her sisters-in-law: Dinah Kluck of Columbia Falls, MT and Darlene Kluck-Brett of Bethlehem, New Zealand; her treasured niece, Carol Anne Ryan of St. John's, Newfoundland; her many cousins, nieces and nephews; and her childhood best friend and partner in crime, Margie Jenkins of St. John's, Newfoundland. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions in Mrs. Kluck's memory to the Alzheimer's Association: 108 North Bedford Street; Georgetown, DE 19947.
