Our beautiful mom, Marjorie Jessick, passed away Jan. 4, 2016. She was born on Sept. 6, 1926, in Denver, Colo., to Charles and Myrtle Graves.

She married Joseph Jessick in 1976; they were happily married for 27 years.

Marjorie enjoyed gardening and working in her flowers. She was a great seamstress; known for the aprons she made everyone. As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, what she enjoyed most was talking to people about the Bible. She had pioneered for 29 years; it was this work that she truly loved.
