On Tuesday, May 20, 2014, family and friends lost an angel.  Marjorie Ann Mewhorter died at home with her family at her bedside after a short illness.

During her "free time", Marge enjoyed camping with her family and friends at the south branch of Whitewater River in her younger years.  She also had an amazing talent in art, handed down from her father and other relatives, leaving behind numerous priceless pieces to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  She was also an avid reader of all varieties of books and known for having 3 going at the same time!  Marge also had respect and love for nature, donating to numerous causes.  This love and respect also handed down to the next two generations.
