Marjorie A Myers

Marjorie A. Myers, 86, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, passed away on Wednesday, June 26, 2024 at Stillwater Hospice Home.

She was born on September 28, 1937 in Decatur, Indiana to the late Harold Melcher and the late Garnita (Gerke) Melcher.

Marjorie was united in marriage to Thomas E. Myers on April 27, 1988 in New Haven, Indiana.

Marge was a member of Emanuel Lutheran Church in New Haven, where she served the Lord in the quilting club, was a member of the Ladies Aid, custodian, and along with Tom, took care of the church grounds.  She also enjoyed singing in the church choir.

Marge grew up on her family’s farm, which continued for another 20 years while raising her family. This upbringing instilled in her a strong work ethic, which she passed on to her children.  Marge was employed at Lincoln Life for 13 years as an insurance underwriter.  Following this time, she worked at several factories, and retired as a cook at East Allen County Schools after 10 years.

Marge enjoyed quilting, painting, art, puzzles, sewing, cooking, softball, horses, dancing and bowling.  She loved working in her garden, especially her flowers.  She had several dogs that gave her much joy.  Her greatest love was spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, spoiling them with her cooking, especially her home made noodles.

Survivors include her husband, Thomas E. Myers of Fort Wayne, Indiana; daughter, Janilyn (Leon) O’Shaughnessey of Monroeville, Indiana; daughter, Jill Renae (Doug) Bieberich of Hudson, Indiana; daughter, Jacquelyn (Jeff) Knefelkamp of Monroeville, Indiana; son, Darin (Gwen) Scheumann of Ossian, Indiana; step-daughter, Darlene (Roy) Zeitvogel of Decatur, Indiana; step-daughter, Charlene (Jimmy Harmon) Myers of Fort Wayne, Indiana; sister-in-law, Hanna Louise Melcher; sister-in-law, Garnita Rebber; twelve grandchildren, Chaucey (Brandon) Weaver, Alex (Stephanie) O’Shaughnessey, Brady (Shayla) O’Shaughnessey, Amanda (Dennis) Payonk, Phillip (Lindsay) Bieberich, Mitchell (Jenny) Bieberich, Chris (Brianna) Knefelkamp, Sarah (Joe) Cesaretti, Jay Scheumann, Joseph Scheumann, Shaun Smith, and Mekhi Zeitvogel; and thirteen great-grandchildren.
