Sent a gift in memory of Marjorie T. Daughtridge
Margie was famous for her cooking. Remember all that Christmas candy and those gift boxestins of goodies she would share. I use to enjoy the recipes she so willingly shared with me. When holidays draw near I find myself sorting through those recipes. Margie did enjoy entertaining and I am sure many folk from church will recall those memories as the holidays draw near. She did have a full life and she has family and friends in her heavenly home that were eager to welcome her home. Joanne Hathaway Conoly
Such joy knowing she is with our Savior….she was a blessing to us for years at Falls Road Baptist Church…loved visiting with her in later years and hearing about the old times…she will be missed…Margaret Quinlan
Ron and I shared so much with Margie after she was in nursing home. She would tell us stories of her whole life and the six nieces were a huge part of it. I told her I was adopting her as my mom after my mom’s death. Our relationship started in church and we sung together in choir many years. She was always the one who prepared our big Christmas get-together at her house. It was so wonderful. She was a great cook. She will be much missed, However, she truly lived a full and long life for her Saviour. We rest in the joy that she is with Him.
What a joy to be around. Vivacious, smiling and it was contagious. Enjoyed being in choir with her. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
