Marjorie was born August 23, 1923 at Newkirk, OK, to Harry R. and Jennie M. (Winchell) Fitzpatrick. She graduated from Newkirk High School, earned her teacher's degree from Cowley County Junior College, and later taught for 4 years at the Grey Noret & Dale schools in rural Newkirk. On October 30, 1946, she married Roy E. Taylor, Sr., her childhood sweetheart.
After her marriage, she retired from teaching, and devoted her time to family and church. She served as a volunteer to scout groups and PTA, and was always willing to lend a helping hand to others. Marjorie was an active member of the Presbyterian Church and its prayer circle. She also served as Clerk of Session, and taught Sunday School. Marjorie was a loving wife of over 65 years, and a gentle and caring mother. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and a life-long love of music, which she instilled in her children. Marjorie often wrote poems, including those written for her grandchildren, and in later life, wrote songs and hymns of praise. She lived joyfully and fully, and will be greatly missed by her many friends and family.
