Marjorie Chase Obituary


Marjorie L. (Garvin) Chase of Jupiter, FL, passed away peacefully on March 3, 2020 at the age of 84. Marge was born in Wheeling, WV and attended West Virginia University after graduating from Moundsville High School as Salutatorian. She resided in Grand Island, NY before moving to Palm Beach Gardens with her family in 1981.
Marge worked in the Payroll Department at St. Mary's Hospital in West Palm Beach and was an unrepentant fan of the Buffalo Bills and WVU Mountaineers. She was an avid league and tournament bowler and loved spending time with the girls at the Golf Club of Jupiter. Any obituary neglecting to mention her hole-in-one on the 115 yard 3rd hole would have been decidedly frowned upon by her. She was a member, Deacon, Clerk of Session and long-time choir member of the Gardens Presbyterian Church in Palm Beach Gardens. Marge was a friend to all, eternally upbeat and always a joy to be around.
Marge is survived by her two sons, Stephen C. Chase and wife Stacy B. Chase of Tampa, FL, and Edward M. Chase and wife Holly W. Chase of Tequesta; three grandchildren, Eric and Alyssa Chase of Tampa and Kelly Chase of Palm Beach Gardens; her sister, Trudy (Garvin) Kline of Parkersburg, WV; sister-in-law, Donna Chase of Moundsville, WV, sister-in-law, Betsy Chase of Roanoke, VA, and sister-in-law, Carlota Garvin of Reston, VA. She was predeceased by her husband, Phillip M. Chase, and her brothers, Thomas R. Garvin and Jay W. Garvin.
Friends may visit at the Taylor & Modeen Funeral Home, 250 Center Street, Jupiter, FL on Monday, March 9 from 4:00PM to 7:00PM. Funeral Services will be held at Gardens Presbyterian Church, 4677 Hood Road, Palm Beach Gardens on Tuesday, March 10 at 11:00AM. In lieu of flowers, Marge would have wanted donations be made to Gardens Presbyterian Church in memory of her life, faith and service to the congregation.

First and foremost, Marge was one of the happiest people I ever knew, one you could always share a laugh with, along with her family.

I got to know the Chase Family through DeMolay on Grand Island, NY. I spent a lot of time at their house and always felt welcomed.

In the 80s, I enjoyed time as a guest at their house in Fla. In recent years, I would visit with Marge when she would come up to Grand Island during the summer and notably the Forth of July events.

She will be sadly missed, and my condolences and fond memories to her family.

My condolences on the loss of Marge. I knew her through my dad, who lives in the same assisted living community. He and Marge had a great "rivalry" going between her beloved Mountaineers and Dad's Baylor Bears. The first time we met her, she found out we were Presbyterians and she invited my husband and I to visit her church, which we did. She was a gracious and welcoming lady with a sweet smile and an easy laugh. We will miss her.
