Marjorie and Eugene were engaged in farming west of Novelty with row crops and a cattle operation all their lives. Marjorie was a member and the song leader for many years of the Locust Hill Community Church. She was a seamstress, enjoyed photography, painting, cooking, and was a very avid reader. If Marjorie became interested in something she taught herself how to do it; she enjoyed learning new things. Her favorite pastime was attending all the sports activities that her grandsons excelled in and was one of their biggest fans. No teenage boys were ever turned away from her Sunday dinner table. Family was important to her and she loved being with them. She will be greatly missed.
