Marjorie Mae Catron, 97, St. Joseph, Missouri, passed away Tuesday, March 26, 2024.
She was born October 23, 1926 in Bethany, Missouri to Otis and Effie (Myers) Hazzard.
Marjorie’s world revolved around sewing and crafting. An artistic, creative soul, she used her visionary talent to create one-of-a-kind keepsake designs, including wedding and ball gowns for her vast Barbie doll collection that were based on those worn by celebrities. She also enjoyed crocheting and quilting.
She loved the Chiefs, Royals and politics, and at age 97 could still converse about all three topics. She also enjoyed attending her grandchildren’s sporting events, including a national softball championship.
Marjorie’s cooking skills were on display at family get-togethers, where she and her sisters would compete for the crown of “best homemade egg noodles.”
She was an inspiration to her family, who will carry precious memories of her.
She was preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Mary E. Woolard; two grandsons, Tyler Woolard and Brian Sharpe; and eight siblings.
Survivors include her children, Dennis Woolard (Patricia), Marilyn M. Sharpe, and Donald Catron (Kimberle); numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and sister, Joanne Jennings.
