There was nothing ordinary about Mrs. Short stuff as I called her. She was a spark of laughter and her little jokes made her fun to always be around. She was my little boss at church she didn't ask me to do anything she would say Hey Chris I need you to do me a favor and she would tell me what to do and before I could answer she would walk off. So the answer was always yes. I will miss her dearly she was the best in taking care of the Pastor aid committee and taking care of our Pastor at Foster's Grove. She loved everyone and we loved her just the same but most of all God loved her and gave her new life and life more abundantly. Love you family and stay strong and of good courage.

Tonya, Sonya, and Anthony, sorry to hear about the loss of you're mom. Praying for strength and healing for you and your family in this time of need ❤ ❤ ❤

Marjorie was a great person. I enjoyed her at church. She had a beautiful smile. She will be missed.

I worked with Marjorie for a number of years at RR Donnelley and was honored to be one of her many friends. She always had a big smile on her face and had a wonderful and warming personality. My prayers go out to you, her family, and pray that you will find comfort in knowing that her life has just begun, a life that is eternal, a life that we who are in Christ Jesus will share with Marjorie when we too depart this world.

I was blessed to call Marjorie my precious friend and sister in Christ. Marjorie was with me every day when my husband was in ICU .I could always count on her to be praying for us. We did volunteer work at the Regional Hospice Home. We became friends when Marjorie came to work at RRDonnelley. I sure will miss my friend but know I will see her again.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
