Marjorie was born April 4, 1927 to the late Edwin and Lela (McPherson) Ott. She was a graduate of Newcomerstown High School, class of 1946. On March 29, 1947, she married Jerry L. McCune who proceeded her in death on March 8, 2006. She is survived by six children, Cheryl (Roy R.) Sweitzer, Jeffrey (Kathy) McCune, Laura (Kenny) Arnold, Jodie (Carl) Lehman, Randolph (Debra) McCune and Scott (Teresa) McCune; one daughter-in-law, Jan McCune; 16 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and one great-grandchild expected in June; two brothers, John (Gloria) Ott, and Jim Ott. She was preceded in death by her son, Rodney B. McCune; two brothers; and one sister. She will be sadly missed by her Pug, Delilah. Her life centered around her Lord and her family. She was a member of Newcomerstown First Baptist Church for over 50 years and had belonged to its Judson Circle and was involved in various church activities throughout the years. She especially enjoyed Wednesday Morning Bible Study at the church. A prayer warrior for others, she spent much time in prayer and reading her Bible. She also enjoyed sending and receiving letters and cards and was a blessing to her family and friends. A homemaker, she formerly volunteered at Riverside Manor and Journey's End Ministries. She always had a batch of cookies baked and ready to share with family, neighbors and friends. There were never too many at her dining table; she always had room for more. Although her family will greatly miss her, they will cherish her memory and the Christian legacy she leaves behind.
