This is probably one of the hardest things I ever did. I put it off long enough. Mar Jo, you are so missed. I can say, you did have a full life and were loved by so many friends and family. It’s hard to believe you’re gone. Seems like yesterday you were walking into Mac and Suzanne’s house ( without nocking first) and  getting more than you bargained for. I just can’t say the rest. We all love you and will miss you forever and ever . 🥰

What a great woman and a great life! Marjo was an incredible nurse and it was an honor to serve with her. I remember a little sign she had near her desk that stated, "No one knows what I do until I don't do it." So true about nurses and now we know what it is to be without her on the planet doing what she did until her last breath. As I reflect on her life of service, especially during the years that I worked with her, I feel a deeper sense of what she did and who she was. She told me she was "so ready" to die; so I will try not to shed a tear. But I do miss her presence with us on the planet already! ~

MarJo was a loving inspiration to all. It was an honor knowing her and I’m humbled to call her my friend.  She was always full of life, love and with a witty sense of humor.  I will miss her. Condolences to her beautiful and loving family .


We have fond memories when Marjo visited UK with her family. She would always show great interest in our garden, and the various vegetables and fruit we grow. Our English strawberry's were of particular interest which she had great pleasure in sampling on a regular basis. With cream of course. A wonderful women who's wisdom we will miss.

I remember having such fun with her when she would come to Lakeland at Christmas time to celebrate the downtown activities with Marty and her children. I know you will miss her terribly. 

Mar Jo was a great gal, she was a fine helpful friend, we were blessed to know her.  She is very happy now being with the Lord.  We know her vision and health is perfect now and that she is still as independent as ever. 

Our condolences to all her family for their loss.

God Bless to All,

Janet & Wayne Zepp

My deepest sympathies to MarJo’s family and friends! She was valued at LSV for her service on the HOA Board of Directors; her leadership in the community and her fun and feisty personality at get togethers, parties and water aerobics! She is missed; but I know she is Resting in Peace! 💜🙏🏻💜

Sorry to hear about MarJos passing .She was a special friend when I was in Ranchero she was always available to help me when I needed help. I miss every one at Ranchero since I moved to Virginia. so sorry to hear about MarJo.

Suzanne and MarJo @ Ranchero Village Chapel.

We visited at Morton Plant. She was just smiling and happy to see me.


I am so blessed to have had her in my life. She always comforted me with her special words when my husband was ill. She made me smile with her words of wisdom about life. 
She so loved her children and always expressed how important each were to her.
She is so happy in heaven  now, but I miss her. Say hello to Peter MarJo, recalling our moments we shared together on three way phone calls .He would say "Hello Darling", she would say "Hello there my Boyfriend".
Thank you Lord for my special friend I met @ RVC.
Cookie Vandervlis.
