Southborough – Marjorie A. Spinner, 90, passed away on Saturday, September 18, 2021 at the Oasis at Dodge Park. She was the wife of the late Franklin H. Spinner.
Born in Bay City, Michigan, she was the daughter of the late Walter and Edna (Koeppen) Arndt and was raised in Bay City, Michigan. She graduated from Bay City Central High School.
