Marjorie E. McCumber, 86, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, formerly of Camargo, died Monday (Feb. 22, 2016) at Memorial Hospital, Chattanooga.
Marjorie Ellen Dare was born on Feb. 11, 1930 at the family home in Dareville, Jefferson County, Illinois, the daughter of Guy and Faye Isabell Harmon Dare. She was the fourth of six children.
She received her education in Jefferson County and began her career working as an operator at the telephone office in Mount Vernon.
Shortly after, Margie Ellen met Dale Everett McCumber and they were wed in a double ceremony with her brother, James Loren Dare and his bride, Margaret Lucille Baker on June 5, 1954 at the parsonage in Mount Vernon.
Dale and Margie raised two daughters in Camargo, Lela Faye and Vicki (Rob) Ponder. Also surviving are three grandsons; five great-grandchildren; one brother-in-law, Richard Webb; one sister-in-law, Catherine McCumber and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Dale, her parents, four brothers and one sister.
Margie's many friends from the Douglas County area also are feeling this loss of life. Margie worked for General Telephone, Cooper's Motel and Jarman Hospital in her career. She was a member of the Camargo United Methodist Church. She was a worker for our Jesus Christ throughout her lifetime, being an early caregiver to several family members and friends in the surrounding area.
Margie loved country, old rock 'n' roll and gospel music, singing in a quartet with her brother James in her youth. She loved watching her soap operas on Channel 3, scheduling her tasks around their air times so as not to miss the excitement and drama. She was happy with the challenges of a search word puzzle as well, but most of all she enjoyed the time spent communicating with family.
