Obituary for Marjorie “Marge” Quack

Beloved Yellow Chicken, Adventurer, and Occasional Menace to Public Decency

Marjorie “Marge” Quack, age… well, no one ever successfully counted her feathers long enough to know, passed away last Tuesday in what experts are calling “a statistically improbable poultry‑related incident.”

Born in a cardboard box of mystery on the early days of Atlas Quest, Marjorie quickly became a fixture of the letterboxing world. Known for her bright yellow plumage, her unwavering commitment to mischief, and her marriage to the ever‑patient George, Marjorie lived a life full of adventure, scandal, and the occasional restraining order from national parks.

A Life of Feathers and Ferocity

Marjorie was never content to simply be a mascot. She insisted on:

• photobombing every group picture
• stealing trail mix from unsuspecting hikers
• loudly critiquing poorly carved stamps
• and once, famously, attempting to unionize all rubber stamp ink pads

Her hobbies included long walks in the woods, short walks to the snack table, and aggressively honking at anyone who suggested she “calm down.”

Her Final Adventure

Marjorie met her end in a manner that can only be described as “on brand.” While attempting to break the world record for the longest chicken‑powered zipline descent, she was tragically swept away by a rogue dust devil, carried three counties over, and deposited directly into a competitive synchronized swimming competition.

Witnesses report that she stuck the landing beautifully, earning a perfect 10 from the judges before being disqualified for “not technically being human.” She passed peacefully shortly thereafter from sheer indignation.

Survived By

• Her devoted husband George, who is reportedly “taking it well” but has also been seen drinking directly from the birdbath
• Three baby chicks she adopted from a local farm, who are now reportedly “acting out” in ways that suggest they may have inherited some of Marjorie’s rebellious spirit
• Her beloved rubber ducky collection, which she insisted on keeping even after it was “weirding people out”
• Countless letterboxers who will forever hear her honk in the wind
• Several half‑finished pranks scheduled to go off later this month

In Lieu of Flowers

Marjorie requested that mourners simply hide a letterbox in her honor—or steal someone else’s snacks, whichever feels more spiritually appropriate.
