| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ December 19, 2001, p. A11 Marjorie E. Tillie, age 80, of Wickenburg, left her earthly tent and entered the presence of the Lord on Dec. 2, 2001, at the home of her daughter. Marge was born in Guntown, Miss. on Sept. 4, 1921, the daughter of Clyde and W.E. Outlaw. She contributed to the war effort in World War II by working in the shipyards at Pascagoula, Miss. When the war ended she entered the Shreveport Charity Hospital School of Nursing in Shreveport, La., graduating in June 1947. During her 40-year career as an R.N. Marge worked in hospitals and clinics, and acquired a reputation as a giver of nearly painless shots. When asked how she did it, she would say, "It's all in the wrist!" Marge and her husband Elmo met while she was in nursing school and married on Dec. 31, 1947. His career in Civil Service took them to Victoria, Texas, and Boulder City, Nev., and retirement led them to Wickenburg in 1976. Elmo preceded her in death on April 29, 1981. She is survived by a daughter, Margie Kellim (Charles) and two grandchildren, Elizabeth and Jeremy, of Scottsdale; sisters Janie Franklin of Baldwyn, Miss. and Lucille (Pug) Heitzenrader of Bakersfield, Calif.; numerous nieces and nephews; and many kind and loving friends. Marge was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Wickenburg and greatly enjoyed the opportunities for service and friendship that she found there. Her family and friends will remember her as a kind, generous, encouraging person, and she will be greatly missed. A memorial service was held at the church on Monday, Dec. 17. Marge received Christ as her personal savior in 1955 through the influence of a dear friend and it was always her heart's desire that others would also come to know him as their personal savior. Because of this, the family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made in her name to "Special Mission Projects", Calvary Baptist Church, 930 E. Tegner, Wickenburg, Ariz., 85390. |
