Marjorie Ruth Malone, 98, passed away on August 18, 2020. She was born at her home on August 4, 1922 in Tallant, OK to Frank and Orpha (Sutton) Snider. As a little girl, Marjorie had a paper route in Tallant that she really enjoyed; she rode around town on her bicycle with her pet raccoon in the basket. After graduating from Wewoka High School, Marjorie attended Tulsa Business College. Her first job out of school was at Alexander Drug. She also worked as a Secretary at Wilmont Place Baptist Church, worked at the Oklahoma Baptist General Convention, and was a Secretary at First Southern Baptist Church in Del City, OK for 40 years. Anyone who knows Marjorie can say that she “trained” many of the Baptist Preachers in town.
Marjorie was a very talented musician; she played the piano and had a beautiful singing voice. She loved animals, and loved to help people.
Most of all, Marjorie was a very kind, cheerful, optimistic person, and was full of life. She made the best out of every situation, and never let life’s hardships take away her spirit. She was loved and cherished by all who knew her, and will be greatly missed.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Call to Care Ministry, PO Box 890298, Oklahoma City, OK 73189.
