Marjorie Gay Alsup, 76, known to most as “Margie,” passed away at her home in Gainesville, TX, on November 5, 2024. She was born on July 12, 1948, in Gainesville, Texas, to Opal Lee (Harris) and Frank Lewis Barthold.
Margie taught school for twenty-five years in the Muenster, Gainesville, and Pilot Point districts. She loved teaching and loved her students. Some of her students were second-generation.
She had a few hobbies, such as antiquing, attending garage sales, and collecting antique rose plates of all different patterns and dolls. Additionally, she loved going to movies or dinner with friends. She loved animals of all sorts and caring for them. She always enjoyed visiting her daughter’s home, where she could feed the goats. Margie enjoyed watching Charles Stanley and Wheel of Fortune with her son.
Margie was a great cook. One of her favorite things to do was cook for her children on birthdays and fix their favorite desserts. Margie was a wonderful mother and loved her children immensely. If you knew her, you knew she was selfless, always putting others before herself.
Margie is preceded in death by her parents, one sister, Pauline Brummitt, and three brothers, Wallace Barthold, Lewis Barthold, and Johnny Barthold. Those remaining to cherish her memory are her children, Angie Gaylynn (Alsup) Barber, and husband, Randy of Denton, and son, Alan Dale Alsup of Gainesville; two sisters, Sherian Dyer of Gainesville and Martha Lawson of Denton; one brother, Wilbur Barthold of Valley View; and several nieces and nephews. Two step-grandchildren, Shelly Stone and Dusty Barber, both of Aubrey, and four step-great-grandchildren, Kaylee Barber, Makynlee Barber, Landon Stone, and Hudson Stone, also survive her.
A graveside service for Margie is at 1:00 pm on Monday, November 11, 2024, at the Valley View Cemetery in Valley View, Texas. Pastor Jeff Langley will officiate the service.
