Son Fred & Majorie Warner 2001 Reunion

Marjorie Smith Depoy Warner, of Kanawha City, was called to Heaven on Monday September 14, 2009, after 95 years.
She is survived by her beloved child, Fred Depoy (Sherry) of Charleston; grandson Anthony (Lynn) and great-grandson Rio Depoy of Minnesota; granddaughter Nicole (Victor) and great-granddaughters Taylor, Cheslea, Faith, and great grandson Jacob Dessberg of Florida.
Marjorie was the last living child of Homer and Blanche Smith; born February 14, 1914. She was raised on the farm on Cedar Creek in Braxton County, where her German pioneer great-grandparents settled in the early 1800’s. She began her education and career at Hope School. She graduated from Seth District High School in 1933 and received degrees and/or certificates from Glenville Normal College, Morris Harvey College, WVU (receiving her Masters in 1951); and Syracuse University-Reading. Her career consisted of teaching in 10 one room schools and as Teaching Principal in Braxton County; Kanawha County teacher of third and fifth grades, Elementary Supervisor, Reading Clinician, Morris Harvey College Summer School Teacher and WV Department of Education Program Specialist. She was the oldest living sister of Alpha Kappa Delta Honorary Sorority.
She was a member of St. Mark’s United Methodist Church in Charleston.
She treasured the memories her family, friends, and students gave her during her long life. Her smile was contagious and she blessed everyone who came in contact with her during her long journey.
Visitation will be held from 6-8 pm on Thursday, September 17, 2009 at Harding Funeral Home on 50^th Street in Kanawha City and also one hour prior to the service on Friday. A tribute to the life of Mrs. Warner will be held on Friday September 18, 2009 at 1:00 pm at the funeral home with burial to follow at Tyler Mountain Memory Gardens beside her husband, William O. Warner.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to HospiceCare 1606 Kanawha Blvd, W. Charleston, WV 25312 in her memory.
The family would like to extend a very special thank you to Shirley Whitt for her excellent and more importantly loving care to Grandma over the recent years. Also thank you to Jane Rowsey and Stacey Smith of River of Life Personal Care Home in Elkview for their care and compassion during her last days.

Dear Friends and Relatives,

We all feel the loss of Marjorie, especially her close family and children. Marjorie was a person dedicated to good education for all students and in her career she set a benchmark for quality teaching methods and curriculum. She was the next to the last member of a generation which included my Father Hugh Smith. Aunt Marie Bailey of Weston remains as the last of that generation and feels the loss of Marjorie.

Her life was long and rich. We are thankful that her mind was alert until the last few months. She was spared suffering and in now with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
