Marjorie Jean (Teague) Bromley

Marjorie Jean Bromley, age 87, a retired missionary with the Christian Missionary Alliance, died Wednesday October 8th following a stroke in Charlotte, NC. She was born in Maffra, Victoria, Australia, June 19, 1927, daughter of Reginald Joseph and Alice May Teague. She married H. Myron Bromley on February 8, 1958. Marj was a graduate of MacRobertson Girls High School of Melbourne, Australia, and received her Medical Degree from the University of Melbourne in 1951. She was a member of the Australian Medical Association. She went into general practice for three years and then obtained a diploma from Melbourne Bible Institute. She attended the Summer Institute of Linguistics in Australia, where she met missionary Myron Bromley. They were married in Australia, and served as missionaries together in the Baliem Valley of what was then Dutch New Guinea and is now the province of Papua, Indonesia. For 35 years she served as a missionary doctor, wife, and mother with a heart’s desire to help people physically and to lead them into a deepening relationship with Jesus Christ. Marj gave wholeheartedly of herself to the lives of the Papuan people, treating their diseases, training them in basic nutrition and mother child healthcare, and training local healthcare providers to serve in village clinics. She headed up the medical program of the Christian Missionary Alliance, worked together with other medical ministries throughout the province, and also gave richly and lovingly to the lives of her fellow-missionaries. She supported her husband in his Bible translation ministry; and raised and loved her three children deeply. Marj and Myron retired to the USA in 1993. After moving to the Union County area, she continued to serve in the local church, to keep informed of local and world events, writing letters to the editor in regard to issues of concern to her, while still enjoying the daily crossword puzzles. All the while she continued to care for the lives and hearts of those around her. Marj has been a beautiful doorway through which our deeply-caring, advocating, passionate, life-giving God has been expressed. Marj is survived by her husband H. Myron Bromley, her son Mark Bromley, her daughters Elisabeth and Lois Bromley, and her granddaughters Rahme and Maia von Erkel-Bromley, now residing with their mother Elisabeth in Australia. Marj was the youngest of her own family and was preceded in death by three brothers, John, Leonard and Harold Teague, and her sister Florence May Oldmeadow. The memorial service will be on Saturday, October 25, at 2 p.m. in the Townsend building, 7405 JAARS Road, Waxhaw, NC, 28173.
