Taken from the website, "Marjorie "Marzie" Harris, 62, died unexpectedly on July 26, 2014, from complications due to diabetes, at her home in Los Angeles, Calif.

Marzie was born on Jan. 11, 1952, in Duluth, Minnesota to John and Winifred Harris.

Marzie was a 1970 graduate of Duluth East High School. She then moved to Kansas where she completed licensed practical nurse (LPN) training and worked in the health care industry and where her son, Hank, was born. She raised her son in Duluth and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Marzie maintained an interest in the visual and theatrical arts and closely followed her son's Hollywood career, which prompted her to move to Los Angeles.

She was preceded in death by her father, John Harris.

Marzie is survived by her mother Winifred Harris, Green Valley, Ariz., and Duluth; her son John Henry "Hank Harris" Neill (Elizabeth Timme), Los Angeles; beloved granddaughter Wallis Timme Neill, Los Angeles; sisters Carolyn Sundquist, Duluth and Katherine Harris (Tom Keyser), White Bear Lake, Minn.; brother Gordon Harris, Santa Fe, N.M.; nephew and niece Will Heim, White Bear Lake, and Trudy Sundquist, Duluth; aunt Martha Bell, Elkhorn, Wis.; and many cousins.

About the person who said the quote, "Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910), best known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He was praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", and William Faulkner called him "the father of American literature". His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), the latter of which has often been called the "Great American Novel". Twain also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894), and co-wrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner."
