Marjorie Jean Vaughn

A hard working mother of six, Marjorie spent her whole life working in the health care field. She was very proud of the time she spent as a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy during the Korean War as well as her 35+ years as a nursing assistant at Holiday Park Hospital.

Marjorie had a quick wit and great sense of humor and was gifted with many talents which she shared with friends and family. She studied music composition at Marylhurst and enjoyed both playing and teaching the violin during her younger years. A talented seamstress and a huge fan of musical theater, she enjoyed many years of sewing costumes for the St. Mary’s Academy theater department. Whether she was singing show tunes or was rooting for “her” Portland Trailblazers, her enthusiasm was truly infectious.

Marjorie Vaughn was preceded in death by her father, Clarence Meacham, her mother, Melissa Oliver, stepfather, Joseph Oliver, and her son, Neil Vaughn. She is survived by her son James Vaughn of Banks, OR, and her daughters Anne Gutierrez of Pasadena, CA, Judy Morrow of Salem, OR, Patricia Feller of Newberg, OR and Mary O’Toole of Portland, OR.

Funeral services will be held at Willamette National Cemetery on Tuesday, March 3, 2015, at 10:30 AM.

Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.
