Marjorie Jantz Owens

On tour to 13 countries and Israel with the Jantz Tours, we visited a castle in Norway. We entered a great room with nothing in it but a piano. What did Marge do? She hurried to the piano and filled the room with "Onward Christian Soldiers". Of course, we all sang along. Music was in her DNA, so her tour had us enjoying four concerts in Norway and Vienna. Back at College Church, she always came to my pew and gave me a hug while Marcia was busy in choir rehearsal. She kind of adopted me...

We still miss you, Marge! But thanks to Jesus our hope lies beyond the grave!❤❤

I recall many camp meetings in Tilden, Illinois when the Jantz family were the music ministers and I was blessed by their sincerity and message. I was so impressed with how talented Caroline was even as a young girl. Then, when that girl grew up and was a piano student at ONU, she was soon a student of Ovid's and we saw her bloom and blossom into such a fine pianist/organist and she is still using her talent for the Lord's use. Marjorie was always such a blessing and such fun that you wanted...

When John Wesley said of his parishioners,"Our saints die well," he meant to include someone like Marge, connected to many in so many ways. I first met her in 1960's as the Jantz's musician/evangelists came to Illinois for revivals and camp meetings. Tilden Holiness Camp called them seven times. Then she took me under her wing as I made two tours of Europe and the Holy Land and a Caribbean Cruise in Jantz tours. When Marcia and I moved here in 2013, we knew no one except Joel and Carolyn....

Losing someone we love is never easy. I am very sorry for your loss. May God's promise in Isaiah 65:17 comfort us and help us
