Marjorie Crist Obituary

DELAND - Marjorie Edna Crist, 90, passed away peacefully Sept. 17, 2024, at Halifax Health Hospice in Orange City. She will be laid to rest at Rose Hill Cemetery in Cumberland, Maryland, where she will join her family in eternal peace.
Born June 12, 1934, in Washington, D.C., Marjorie was raised in the charming town of Emmitsburg, Maryland. She also spent some years living in Cumberland, Maryland, before relocating to Florida in 1975. For the past 42 years, she called DeLand home.
While in DeLand, Marjorie found joy in many pursuits. She was an avid golfer and could often be found at the DeLand Golf and Country Club. Her commitment to community and heritage was evident through her active participation in the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).
Marjorie also enjoyed tending to her garden and was a dedicated member of a local Garden Club. A passionate supporter of the Stetson University basketball team, she never missed an opportunity to cheer for her favorite players.
Marjorie was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Alice Hetzel Taylor, and her stepfather, Norman Taylor. She leaves behind her brother, Carl Crist, and his wife, Sue Crist; her nephew, David Crist, and his wife, Starr Crist, as well as her great-nephew, Cole Crist, all of whom will deeply miss her kind heart and loving spirit.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Marjorie's memory to Halifax Health Hospice or a charity of your choice. Lankford is in charge.

Marjorie was my half sister...we share the same Father. Milton B. Crist. I was much younger than her and I remember as a child,she would come and stay with us from time to time. We kind of lost touch after our Father passed in 1982,but I often wondered how she was doing. Rest in Peace Marjorie..

Marjorie was a significant part of my life growing up. She and her. Mother first live across the street from my family and later, in a new home, behind ours. She was the built in community babysitter for most of the families in the "Dingle". I am happy to know she live a full life.
