Marjorie Morgan (Martz)
April 8, 1919 — December 11, 2016
Marjorie E. Morgan passed away on Sunday, December 11, 2016 at Kosciusko Community Hospital in Warsaw, Indiana. She was 97 at the time of her passing.
Born on April 8, 1919 in Eaton, Ohio, Marjorie was the daughter of Lester and Elsie (Clark) Martz.
Between 1941 and 1943, Marjorie had worked for the US War Department in the Pentagon. She even had the opportunity to meet Eleanor Roosevelt. She was proud of her service to our country and fond of the memories she made during this time – in her later years she enjoyed recanting many accompanying stories.
On May 14, 1943, Marjorie would marry Edward R. Morgan in Eaton. Together the two spent 44 years and, after moving from Ohio, they made their home in Argos, Indiana. Eventually they settled in Warsaw where they had resided since 1964.
Marjorie was a member of Warsaw’s First Christian Church for many years. She enjoyed cooking and baking, puzzles, coloring, and reading. She was an avid Euchre player and enjoyed crossword puzzles. She enjoyed staying active and had volunteered for Meals on Wheels. She always helped to run the family farm and was caring for her own home and driving until very recently. Above all, Marjorie was a mother and grandmother who loved time spent with her family.
Those left to cherish memories of the vibrant life Marjorie lived are two sons: Jeff (wife, Margaretha) Morgan of Warsaw and Dennis (wife, Barb) Morgan of Huntington, Indiana; daughter, Jane Eash (Jon Borton) of Argos, Indiana; 8 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; 5 great-great-grandchildren and a brother, Albert (wife, Barbara Bishop of Peru, Indiana.
Those who preceded Marjorie in passing include her husband, Edward, who died on July 10, 1987; her parents Albert and Elsie Bishop; father, Lester Martz, who died when Marjorie was very young; a sister, Pauline Jeanes and her loyal friend, Buster the dog.
