Marjorie Nicole Nims, 56, passed on Friday, January 9, 2026, at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. She was born on February 9, 1969, in Syracuse, New York, to Theodore Nims Jr. and Gloria Ann Lee Nims, and was the youngest of two children.

A resident of Tallahassee for more than 38 years, Marjorie was a proud 1996 graduate of Florida A & M University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism. She delighted in reminding everyone that she was a Rattler—one of Dr. Humphries’ best.
Following graduation, Marjorie began her career at Barnett Bank but soon discovered her true passion was working directly with people. She went on to enjoy a career in retail, where her dedication and leadership led her to several team lead positions with Network Cable, FedEx, Sears, JCPenney, Sports Authority, and most recently Target.

Marjorie was known for her loving spirit, warm heart, and genuine kindness. She was a devoted family member, a caring friend, and someone who consistently went out of her way to help others in need. An ardent dog mom, she shared a special bond with her beloved four-legged companions—PJ, G, Cody, and most recently, Kane.
Marjorie was preceded in death by her father, Theodore Nims Jr; mother, Gloria Lee Nims; maternal grandparents, Fred D Lee Sr. and Maude Lee Seabrooks; paternal grandparents, Theodore Nims Sr., Alvin Black and Thelma Nims Black.

She is survived by her loving sister, Chandra Nims Brown (Vincent) of McDonough, GA; nephews, Dane Browner of Austin, TX, Vincent Brown II (Melissa) of Arlington, VA, and Jorian Jones of Encinitas, CA; a niece, Raven Brown of Richmond, VA; Marjorie is also survived by a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends who will forever cherish her laughter, warmth, and radiant smile.
