History
Marjorie Simmons (née Compton) was an author and historian in Kingston, Ontario. She was born to John Alfred Compton and Florence Maud Compton (née Godman) on 17 March 1920 in the hamlet of Florida, Ontario. She co-authored "Williamsville Revisited" (2004) and "The City of Kingston Portrait Collection" (2006) (Kingston Mayors). Professionally, she was Administrator for many years of the Institute of Psychotherapy. She was instrumental in creating the Kingston Medical Secretaries Association, and co- founder in 1955 of the Ontario Medical Secretaries Association.

She was a founding member in 1973 of the Kingston Branch of OGS. She was president of the provincial society 1983-85, chair of Kingston Branch 1976-77 and served both levels in many other positions.
