Marjorie was a resident of St. Charles Parish, LA for 49 years. As a devout Christian and member of Bible Center Church in Luling, she loved her family, church, studying and teaching the Bible, singing, reading and traveling. As a Bible teacher, she devoted much of her life to spreading God’s word to the women of St. Charles Parish and shared this thought with her family, “I want to be remembered as someone who lived her life to please the Lord Jesus Christ”. While she will be sadly missed, her home is in Heaven. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Bible Center Church in Luling or to the Susan G. Komen Foundation ( www.komen.org ).
