B. Forker Obituary

Forker B. Marie Forker (Jones) went to be with our Lord Jesus on November 15, 2016 in Columbus, OH due to complications following open heart surgery. She was 71. Marie was born on October 5, 1945 in Columbus, OH to her parents, Louise and Gaylord Jones. She graduated from Columbus West High School in 1963 where she was an active member of the marching band. She married Carl Forker in 1969. Carl and Marie lived on the west side of Columbus. Marie retired (for the last time) from COTA in 2015 where she dedicated 36 years of her life to the citizens of Columbus. Marie was a passionate Buckeye and avid gardener but most of all she enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She was a predominate figure in Columbus during her time with COTA, from helping Santa on the Christmas Coach to cheering with Buckeye fans on game day she was always the life of the party. She was also a longtime member of Central Baptist Church.

As well as lifelong friend, "Sooty" and far too many dear family friends to mention. She is preceded in death by her grandmother and grandfather Bertha and Early Fox, mother Louise Brown, grandson Kevin Daniels and great-grandchildren Lakota and Luke (Jr) Davis. Marie will be shown on November 21, 2016 from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at NEWCOMER FUNERAL HOME, SW Chapel, 3393 Broadway, Grove City, OH 43123.

I love and miss you MOM ! Thank You for all you have done for our family. You are the best mother a son could ever have hoped for. Every time I see you all I can do is smile.Thank you for never letting us wonder if you Loved us or proud of us, you always let us know. Mom I know I am proud of you and your accomplishments.
You have touched and made everyone's life better just for you being you. I will miss when you walk into the room and watching everyone's face just light up. You always knew what to say to me when I needed you. I just wish I could have done more for you. You deserve the BEST.
Now that your journey is complete on this earth your new journey begins with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I LOVE AND MISS YOU MOM,

Denny

The world is a little bit darker. Our family lost the glue that has always held us together. There is not a person who met her that did not get to experience laughter, sometimes amazement in thinking did she really just say that???. Mom was never one to pull any punches and you really didn't have to worry about what she was thinking, because she would defiantly let you know. Her smile was contagious and her love was unconditional. I thank God for every minute I got to spend with his angel, it was not enough but I am thankful for what I had.
I know that there is never a right time. But God was able to show me that it was in fact time, and I do find some comfort in the fact that she is with the people she loves in heaven, and to know that I too will get to see her again brings me hope.
Marie Forker touched many lives and we are all better people because of it. Please pray for my dad, as I know that he is lost without his Ipana smile

Rest easy mom!

My heartfelt condolences. I never met Marie, but felt I knew her through her daughter-in-law Robin, who has shared with me great stories and memories of her. God bless you Denny, may Our Heavenly Father's comfort surround you. Know that your mother is with God, and in His loving embrace.

My condolences to Marie's family. I was friends with Marie when we were classmates at West. We were in the same group who ate lunch together. We have communicated via e-mail the last 15 years. She once told me her son, Lee, also graduated from West, was married and in the military. I was editor of the Alumni Association newsletter at the time and listed an update on Lee in the newsletter. We will list her passing in the next edition of the Alumni Association newsletter.
