Marjorie E
Voght
Sep 12, 1944 — Jun 9, 2026
Marjorie Ellen Voght (Peck), 9/12/1944 - 6/9/2026 beloved mother, grandmother, nurse, veteran, and friend, passed away peacefully surrounded by love. Born on September 12, 1944, in West Lebanon, New Hampshire, she was the daughter of the late Jessalyn G. and Archie S. Peck. Marjorie grew up in West Lebanon alongside her four siblings, Robert, Linda, Richard, and Douglas. Following her graduation from high school, she pursued her passion for caring for others by earning her nursing degree from Concord Hospital School of Nursing. Inspired by President John F. Kennedy's call to service—"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country"—Marjorie answered that challenge by enlisting in the United States Army Nurse Corps as a Second Lieutenant. She proudly served her country during the Vietnam War, stationed in Cu Chi, where she provided compassionate care to wounded soldiers during one of the nation's most difficult conflicts. Following her service in Vietnam and while stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, Marjorie met the love of her life, Captain Raymond C. Voght III. Their military journeys later brought them to Landstuhl, Germany, where they spent two memorable years together. During her military career, Marjorie rose to the rank of Captain, a testament to her leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment to those she served. Marjorie and Raymond were married in January 1970 and shared a loving partnership for 48 years. In 1971, they returned to the United States to begin raising their family. After her military service, Marjorie continued her lifelong calling as a nurse. She worked at Backus Hospital before dedicating more than 30 years to Windham Community Memorial Hospital. Much of her career was spent in the Emergency Department, where she provided expert care and comfort during life's most critical moments. She mentored countless nurses, helping shape future generations of caregivers while earning the respect and admiration of colleagues and patients alike. Above all else, Marjorie's greatest pride was her family. Together, she and Ray raised three children: Raymond, Teresa, and Christopher. She was a devoted mother who led by example, teaching kindness, resilience, independence, and service to others. She was also a proud and loving grandmother to four cherished grandchildren: Jessalyn, Chloe, Ella, and Wesley. They will forever remember her spirited personality, quick wit, strength, and boundless love. Whether sharing stories, offering advice, or simply making those around her laugh, she had a remarkable ability to make people feel special and cared for. Marjorie lived an extraordinary life of service, adventure, and compassion. Her military career allowed her to travel the world and experience diverse cultures, but it was her devotion to family, friends, patients, and community that defined her legacy. She touched countless lives through her kindness, generosity, and selfless commitment to helping others.
Marjorie was predeceased by her beloved husband of 48 years, Raymond C. Voght III. Together they built a life centered on family, service, and love. She is survived by her children, Raymond C. Voght IV of Atlanta, Georgia; Teresa Lisek and her husband, Alexander Lisek, of Boston, Massachusetts; and Christopher Voght and his wife, Erin Voght, of North Kingstown, Rhode Island. She is also survived by her treasured grandchildren, Jessalyn and Wesley Lisek, Chloe and Ella Voght; her brother, Richard Peck of Lebanon, New Hampshire; her sister and brother in law, Linda and James Herman of Naugatuck, Connecticut; her brother and sister in law Robert and Kathy Voght of Dayville, Connecticut; Reid Voght of Elgin, Illinois and many beloved nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
Though her family mourns her passing, they find comfort in knowing she is reunited with her beloved Raymond and that her legacy of love, courage, and service will live on in all who knew her. Marjorie's courage in war and compassion in the emergency room reflected a lifetime devoted to caring for others ~ her children will host a Celebration of Life in the coming months, with details to be shared at a later date.
