Marjorie Andrews Moriole

Psalms 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants".

Marjorie Moriole from Jefferson, TX passed away in Tyler, TX on February 25th, 2024, at the age of 68. She was a beloved mother, sister, auntie, cousin, friend and most importantly, a faithful woman of God. She will be greatly missed.

Marjorie was the historian of our family. She loved being an Andrews and she loved her Mathis family, too! She wanted our family to know about their roots and where we came from, and she was delighted to share information with anyone who had an interest in knowing more about themselves. She would often coordinate yearly family get togethers for her immediate family to attend. Whether it was in Tyler, Jefferson or the Dallas area.

Marjorie proudly represented her family as the 1st to graduate from college. She attended Abilene Christian University where she received her bachelor's degree in psychology.

She taught at Brentwood Christian School in Austin, TX and enjoyed teaching children of all ages at church, whether it was Vacation Bible School, Wednesday night Bible class or Sunday school. It was fulfilling for her to teach God's Word.

She worked for the Texas Attorney General's office for 35 years. During her many years with the State, she was a Child Support Officer, Regional Case Analyst, Child Support Investigator, Technical Writer and a Systems Analyst.

Marjorie partnered with Create-a-Book's "McGruff and Me" program and created custom books for children throughout elementary schools in Tyler, TX which promoted literacy and taught children how to avoid becoming victims of crime. She made these books on her own. Entering the information, printing the pages and binding the books. All of this while still working her full-time job at the State with the Attorney General's Office.

Marjorie was a continuous supporter of various charities, organizations, selflessly gave of herself within her church and created spaces for people to strengthen their faith in God and knowledge of the Word. However, she wouldn't tell you that. She was humble and didn't require praise or recognition for the things she did for people or causes. As long as she was able to help, encourage or do something that let you know you were special, that's what mattered to her, most.

Things Mom (Marjorie) loved: Flowers and gardening. Being near the water. Especially, the beach or ocean. Travelling and sight-seeing. Spending time on her patio. Cheering for the Dallas Cowboys. Her favorite programs were: The Waltons, The Andy Griffith Show, old Westerns and Finding Your Roots.

Her parents, five brothers and three sisters, Joe Earl, C.J. and Lloyd H. Andrews, David Andrews, Robert N. Andrews, Hattie Sherman, Wyolene Nixon and Velma L. Andrews, preceded her in death.

Marjorie leaves to cherish her memory: daughters Marcia R. Moriole, of Flint, TX and Victoria Moriole of Austin, TX; brother, James L. (Carolyn) Andrews of Cedar Hill, Texas; and sisters, Ruby L. Bailey and Rubenstene (Robert) Jacobs of Jefferson, Texas. She was "Aunt Marge" or "Margy" to her beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.

Respects can be paid during her funeral at Shady Grove Church of Christ on 2145 Ma County Road 3406, Jefferson, TX, on Saturday, March 9th at 12 P.M.
