Marjorie Maxine Hobbs

home in Seymour, Tennessee, after a courageous battle with stage 4 cancer. She was 92 years

old. Born on December 3, 1933, in Eustis, Florida, to her parents, Thelma Elizabeth

McCampbell and William (Bill) McCampbell, Margie lived a life distinguished by grace,

generosity, and an unwavering devotion to those she loved.

From an early age, Margie demonstrated remarkable intellect and poise. She graduated as

Valedictorian of her senior class at Everett High School, where she also earned the honor of

being named Miss Hill Topper. These early achievements foreshadowed a life lived with

purpose, elegance, and determination.

Margie married the love of her life, Charles Seright Hobbs, Jr. (Charlie), and together they

built not only a family but a lasting legacy through Holly Hills Memorial Parks and Funeral

Homes. What began as a shared dream grew into a thriving enterprise, and Margie took

tremendous pride in designing and decorating the three beautiful funeral homes she and

Charlie created together. She poured her artistic eye and personal touch into every detail,

ensuring that each space offered dignity and comfort to the families they served. She and

Charlie also hosted many political and community events at their home, fostering

relationships that helped build their business and strengthen their community bonds.

Among her proudest accomplishments was the historic older home also known as the old

stagecoach stop she and Charlie lovingly restored, transforming it into the cherished place

where they raised their family for 40 years. That home, filled with laughter, warmth, and

memories, stood as a testament to Margie's gift for creating beauty in the world around her.

Margie was a woman of many talents and passions. She was a competitive couples roller

skate dancer, a ballroom dancing instructor, an avid tennis player, and a gifted artist, she

brought creativity to everything she touched. She and Charlie shared a love of travel and the

beach, embarking on many wonderful trips together throughout their years of marriage.

Margie also had a deep love for animals, opening her heart and home to strays, rescues, and

beloved pets alike.

Above all, Margie was a caregiver who always put others before herself. She was one of the

strongest and most loving mothers to her two daughters who adored her greatly. She

possessed a sharp wit and a gift for making people laugh, lighting up every room she entered.

She carried herself with a timeless elegance that was entirely her own. She was sweet, caring,

and remarkably intelligent, and those who knew her were forever better for it.

Margie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Charlie Hobbs, She is survived by her

daughter, Marcie Mayers, and husband Thomas Mayers, daughter Holly Bryan and husband

Bob Bryan, all of who held a special place in her heart. Her five grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren were among her most prized blessings, and she cherished every moment spent

with them. They include: Sophia Mayers and her partner Blaise Rooney, Gabrielle Mayers,

Isabella Mayers, Charlie Bryan, and Brady Bryan; her great-grandchildren, Chadly Rooney,

and Camp Rooney.

In accordance with her wishes, Margie will be cremated and returned to the loving care of her

family, who will continue to celebrate the extraordinary life she shared with them.

Margie's faith provided her with comfort and strength throughout her life, and it is fitting that

her family finds solace now in the words of Psalm 23: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not

want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He

restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea,

though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with

me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence

of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and

mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for

ever."

Rest now, dear Margie. You are home. Condolences may be offered at www.berryhighlandsouth.com
