Marjorie Marge Warner

Marjorie Ann "Marge" (Martenson) Warner, age 85, left this earth to be home with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ at 2am, 24 Aug 2023. After a courageous and 'miraculous' battle, she passed away quietly and peacefully in the company of her family, at her private home, in Heritage Springs Country Club and Resort, Trinity FL. The angels led her to the fountains of the Waters of Life. She was a lady of strong Christian faith. Father George prayed with her for a last confession, communion and Last Rites before her passing. Heaven became a little bit brighter with her smile!
