If you can breathe, you can sing,” is a governing principle of Marjorie Timmer’s life.  She grew up in Michigan singing barbershop quartet songs with her dad and three sisters on family trips and built on that in school and church choirs over the course of her education.  She moved to Georgia (away from winter!) in the late 70s and continued singing in her church choir while working as a respiratory therapist.  She joined Collegium Vocale in the fall of 2019, and currently serves as its Treasurer.  Happily retired after 45 years in health care, Marjorie enjoys swimming, knitting, playing piano, and rejoicing in the company of her husband, children, and grandchildren.
