Rain or shine, there was always laughter at the Darbon camp! Marjorie was preceded in death by her husband Neil M. Darbon; and sisters Edie Lawrence and Bonnie Webb. She is survived by her daughter Pamela (Bill) Porterfield; son Greg (Susie) Darbon; grandchildren Melisa Porterfield, Amanda (Eric-Sean) Gotcher, and Elizabeth Darbon; great-grandchildren Colter Sutton, Halen, Karley and EJ Gotcher; brother Keith Lawrence, and sister Jane Lawrence.
