Marjorie was such an incredible woman, so engaged and lively. Whenever I would visit she would always be doing something, watching birds on the feeder outside her kitchen window, listening to the news or to the game. She was always very definite about what she wanted or needed me to do but also very patient when I didn't do things quite the way she wanted. Although I didn't know her well for very long I wish I could have known her for much longer. Thank you Marjorie - for your patience, for your good humor, for your stories and for everything you have been and done for so many people.

Dear Joyce, I was a nursing student class of 1977 at CMMC. I loved your mom. She was a very positive influence upon me at that very young and unformed time of my life. She had a simple directness that I greatly appreciated. She was a good classroom and clinical instructor, and very human and humane in her presence and interactions with me.

A funny story... I was a black belt in karate at that time, and she volunteered to be in a demonstration I was doing for the class. I was a kicking expert, and with my foot flying over her hear and right up to her face, she just kept eye contact with me and smiling all the time. Everybody loved her coolness in those moments. Everyone in my class loved her. Peace and Blessings to you and your family.

Marge was a wonderful lady and an asset to the communities in which she lived. I am sorry that I did not have the pleasure of a longer acquaintance with her. My sympathy to Joyce and the rest of the family. I will be thinking of you all on Saturday. I wish I could be there with you. Nancy Barney

I'm thankful for the privilege of knowing Marge through my dad, Bill Theimer, and for the support she was to our family especially at the time of my oldest sister's last days as well as the companion she was to my dad. We enjoyed her visits to Wichita and ours to Paonia and Grand Junction where we would always play rousing games of cribbage, enjoy the jams and jellies she made from dad's garden and other wonderful dishes. She was an amazing woman who will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers to her family who meant so much to her.

I would like to express my condolences to the family and friends of Marjorie Oliver. While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, we look forward to the time when words will fail to capture the joy of having our heavenly Father, Jehovah, return your dear one to you. May the Lord, Jesus Christ himself and God our Father who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope through undeserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm. (2Thessalonians 2:16,17)

Joyce, Jason, Jimbo, Michael, et al,

It should come as no surprise to you over the next weeks - as you hear from the many people whose lives Marge made such a positive impact on.

She was a remarkable woman, and you can be very proud that you are part of her legacy.

I wish you peace and comfort, and hope that your many happy memories guide you through this solemn time.

Love,
Jay Standring

Mrs. Oliver, as I initially called her, was my swimming instructor at Reid State Park and then my first instructor at CMGH School of Nursing in 1966. Later we worked together and I respected her so much that I still mostly called her Mrs. Oliver...or eventually, Mrs. O. She was so important a person in my life, and will always remain so. Her intelligence, smart humor and professional excellence were legendary in the School of Nursing and among those fortunate to know her as "friend." I will miss her presence in this world and extend to you, Joyce, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother.

Dear Joyce,
I regret the passing of your mother, Marjorie. Or Marge as I remember her.
I was in the class of 1967 at CMGH, the same class that Jayne, blessings to her, graduated from. I have many and only fond memories of Marge, she was such a light and seemed always to care for each of us as we struggled through the maze of becoming a nurse and a responsible member of society, it seemed. One time we ( my roommate Meg Carter and I ) were invited out for an incredible day on the ocean in the lobster boat of your father! What a memory !
I am grateful for the presence of Marge in my life, not only such a lot of knowledge, but also a very caring person and a model of a wonderful human being and especially memorable and important in this formative time of my life.
I live in New Mexico and will not be able to attend the service.
Gratitude to you and
Best wishes for your future days and years,
Mary Jo Whiteman
