Marjorie Elaine Getman of Albuquerque passed away on January 4, 2017.
Marjorie was born on February 8, 1934 to James and Vesta (Weatherman) Hill in Oklahoma. She was the second eldest of 6 children: Donnie, Marjorie, Jimmy, Carol, Linda and Debbie. In 1953, Marjorie married Frank Getman in Texas. They had 4 children. Marjorie and Frank were exemplary evidence of love, partnership, community and Christianity. Their union happily weathered almost a golden half of a century. Marjorie was a shining example of a daughter, sister, mother and teacher. She did not sugar coat most things but was instead honest and encouraging, waiting in the wings for us all to shine. Till the end she upheld her intelligence and humor, playing cards with family members, engaging and gracing us all with her laughter and wit. Marjorie's faith and actions remained righteous in the Lord and her heart filled with hymns until this day.
Marjorie was preceded in death by her husband and daughter Teresa Morgan. She is survived by her daughters, Sonja Scott and Charlotte Getman; son, Russell Getman; 9 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.
Marjorie's Life Celebration will begin with a Visitation on Saturday, January 14, 2017 at 1:00 pm followed by Funeral Services at 2:00 pm in the Reflection of LifeA
