Marjorie graduated from Cathedral Latin High School in Raleigh, NC and attended St. Joseph’s College in Emmistburg, MD. She went to work in 1947 for Quartermaster Depot in Charleston, SC, and transferred to Childersburg, Al and later to Charlotte, NC. When Quartermaster’s closed, she transferred to Navel Depot on York Road in Charlotte, NC. She left government work in 1956 to raise a family and returned to government work in 1974 working for Social Security. When she retired after 20 years of government service in 1986 she and George sold their home and moved to their property in Santee, SC. Margie always said they lived in their homes for 31 years, but when they built in Wesley Chapel in 1996, she didn’t think they would last another 31 years.

She always said she worked harder after retirement, cooking, canning, gardening and yard work. For a time, she even took up golfing and fishing to spend more time with her beloved George.

She is survived by daughters, Deborah Ann Pulley, husband Bobby, Pamela Spain Redfearn, husband Don, and Kit Cooper McLean, grandchildren, Sherry, Kathy, Ross, Lindsay, and Cooper, great grandchildren, Allee, Baylee, Cole, Nina, Easton, Piper, Townley, Luca, Nolan, and Lucy, as well as many nieces and nephews.
