There are so many things I could say but I'll just say I loved her and she loved me. I could and would talk to her about anything. She would always tell me God was going to handle every problem I had. I don't think I ever saw her mad except for when Greg left his class ring at upward bound and I wouldn't give it to him. She wasn't playing. I'm praying for you guys and I love y'all

Sincere condolences to this family. Ms. Marjorie was a such a sweet lady and always the same when ever you saw her. Beautiful spirit, Rest In Peace.

She was a sweet and kind person. I worked with her at Gadsden State. I pray for comfort for her family and friends! Susan Brown
