Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I will always remember the unshakable devotion between Aunt Marjorie and Uncle John. She gave me the courage to try contact lens when I was 16 years old. Always a class act. Mark Powell
So sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs.Marjorie, she cut my hair for many years and was such a joy to be around but at least she is up there with Mr. John now and suffering no more. (Together Again) Our thoughts and Prayers are with the Family. Randy & Diane Rivenbark
