Marjorie Jeffers (January 18, 2011)

Marjorie “Midge” Jeffries. Our mother has ended what she called her “full wonderful life” on January 18, 2011 at the Brethren Retirement Community in Greenville, Ohio, surrounded by her family. She was born on November 8, 1926 to the late Milton M. & Regina C. (Duval) Woodbury. She resided in Greenville her entire life. After graduating from Greenville High school class of 1944, excelling in bookkeeping, she worked for DP&L, the city water office, and Darke Rural Electric Cooperative. Active on many committees for the class of ’44 alumni association, she was an integral part in keeping this class together for many years.

Her competitive spirit led her to many years of participation on several bowling leagues including many national events. She was an avid golfer and will be sorely missed by her golfing buddies.

Midge will be remembered for her incredible strength and love of family residing in both Ohio and Texas. She leaves behind her son, David Jeffries; daughter, Linda Morrow; grandchildren, Amber Stump, Carmen Jeffries, Matthew, Jonathan and Rebecca Morrow; and 8 great grandchildren.

The family wishes to thank her incredible number of friends for their love and support. We know you will miss her beautiful smile and her outrageous sense of humor. She will remain forever in our hearts and asked us all to remember the good times.

There will be a private memorial service held at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers it is the wishes of the family that memorial contributions be given to the State of the Heart Hospice, Greenville High School Musical Department, or charity of your choice.
