Marjorie M. Yockey

Marjorie Yockey, 83, of Reynoldsburg, died peacefully on March 14, 2013, following a brief illness. At her passing, she was enveloped in love. In her final days, she made us laugh, love and cry. She was passionate about many things, most of all, her family.

Born July 29, 1929 in Trail, Ohio, she was the daughter of the late Elden and Alma Schnitzer Miller.

Marjorie graduated from Dundee High School in 1947. Her late husband, Linus, converted her to an avid sports fan. She attended high school basketball and volleyball games, and cheered on the Buckeyes, Browns and Cavs.

Marjorie retired from Rees Cast Stone in 1991. She was a member of Winfield United Methodist Church.

On November 19, 1950, she married Linus Yockey, who preceded her in death in 2004. Marjorie is survived by two daughters, Beth, of Reynoldsburg, and Shelley (Wes) Luthy of Westerville; grandchildren, Logan Luthy (fiancee Michele Patete) of Mentor-on-the Lake, Ohio, and Kelsie Luthy of Westerville. She is also survived by her brother, William (Susan) Miller of Dundee and her sisters-in-law, Ruth Miller of Dundee and Hazel Yockey, of Dover.

In addition to her parents and her husband, Marjorie was preceded in death by her brothers, Paul Miller and Robert Miller.
