Marjorie Lois Morrow, 88, of Kerrville, Texas, passed away Sunday, November 30, 2025, in the comfort of her home. She was born December 19, 1936, to J.B. Martin and Margaret Digges Martin in Poteet, Texas. Marjorie grew up with three siblings, Dorothy "Sisty" Oliver, Sue Murray and Don Martin. Marjorie spent most of her childhood and teen years in Pleasanton, Texas where she met the love of her life, James Morrow.

Jim and Marjorie married in 1955 at the First Baptist Church in Pleasanton. This was the same year she graduated from high school. In 1960, the family moved to Alice so Jim could work at the Federal Aviation Agency. In 1963, he surrendered to the ministry...and so did Marjorie. She spent countless nights typing up reports for him, all while working as a secretary and being a loving mother. Following where the Lord was leading Jim in his ministry, the family served in churches in Freer, Pharr, Burnet, Ralls, and then finally Kerrville. At every church Marjorie loved on as many people as she could. She had a special calling for youth. Young people from these churches that are now grandparents still refer to her as "Ma", the loving nickname that had been given to her by the kids.

Marjorie was led to become a nurse and she earned her LVN license in 1981. She always had a special interest in cardiac issues and worked several years in ICU. Years later when they moved to Ralls, she would work for Dr. Justin McCarthy whom she loved like a son.

Jim was a bit of an introvert, so Marjorie took it upon herself to plan game nights with family and friends. Walking up to the house at any given time one might hear the sound of cards or dominoes being shuffled. She was a fabulous cook and greatly enjoyed cooking for family and church events.

While growing up in Pleasanton, Marjorie had worked in her parents' grocery store and at a young age had learned how to cut up any kind of meat. This came in particularly handy when Jim would come home with a deer he had shot. He would string it up in the garage and Marjorie would go to work on it, cutting and wrapping it up with the precision of a professional. Her talents didn't end there. She enjoyed crocheting, quilting and sewing. Over the years she gifted several of her masterpieces to people she cared for.

Marjorie will best be remembered for her heart. She loved all that came in her path, but it was due to the love she held for the Lord. Each night she would perch up on the side of her bed and set out various devotionals and her Bible and read for hours. At times when talking to her, her face would light up and she would say, "I just read the most wonderful scripture!" Then a mini Bible lesson would ensue.

Marjorie is survived by her brother Don Martin, wife Drucilla and son Joel; son Michael Morrow, his wife Cheryl Morrow, their son William Morrow and his wife, Taryn, and daughters, Elaine and Emily; daughter Patricia Morrow; and daughter Tabitha Morrow and son Derek Baker.

She was preceded in death by her husband James Morrow, grandson Brandon Morrow, sisters Dorothy Oliver and Sue Murray, and brother Billy Martin.

There are several people that were as special as family to her: Lifelong friends Joyce and Don Talbert, Gary and Wendy Anderson, Janna Oliver and Cristie Drisch who she loved like her own daughters, and bonus grandchildren Danielle Drisch, Sadie and Joseph Malham and Cooper Ball. Sherrill Hutson has been a dear friend and her visits the past few years have meant so much.

Services will be held at 9:00 a.m. Friday December 5, 2025, at Sunrise Baptist Church in Kerrville, officiated by John Berthold. Graveside services will be held at 2:30 p.m. at Pleasanton Cemetery, Pleasanton, Texas.

The family would also like to thank the staff of Peterson Memorial Hospice for their great assistance in transitioning Marjorie to her final home.
