Marjorie Ann Kendrick, 88, of Mora, MO, passed away Wednesday, November 20, 2019 at Bothwell Regional Health Center.
Born December 27, 1930 in Connersville, IN, she was one of two children born to Russell and Dorothy (Rich) Jeffries.
Marjorie was a 1949 graduate of Englewood High School in Englewood, CO.
On April 4, 1952, in Denver, CO, she married Richard T. Kendrick. To this union three children were born.
Marjorie was a homemaker most of her life, supporting her husband during his business career, moving and transferring from city to city eight different times. Once settled in Mora, Marjorie supported the raising of beef cattle on the family farm. She was a loving wife and mother.
She was a committed Christian and had a very strong faith. Gospel music was a focus of Marjorie and Rich’s life. They sang in church choirs, performed in nursing homes and attended southern gospel music events all over the U.S. She played the organ and piano.
As a musician, she also enjoyed involvement in the Sedalia Symphony Singers and the Helen G. Steele Music Club.
Marjorie was active in many community activities, including membership in PEO and Sorosis, and volunteered for Open Door.
Hobbies that brought her joy were oil painting, playing Bridge, cooking and sewing of all types.
As an expression of her faith, she supported a Haitian girl through Compassion International. She also contributed to various radio and television ministries.
Marjorie will be remembered as loving, caring, giving, for always being for the underdog, and as a friend to all. She will be greatly missed.
