Marjorie Storie

Marjorie Spade Storie, age 70, of Terre Haute, Indiana, was called home to be with the Lord on Friday, Jan. 15, 2021, following a brave battle with Alzheimer’s and the novel coronavirus.

She was born to the late Charles and Helen Spade on Dec. 23, 1950, in Portland, Indiana.

Following her graduation from Dunkirk High School, Marjorie soon married Steven — the love of her life. Together they enjoyed 46 years of marriage and raised five children. Blessed with a nurturing spirit and a big heart, Marjorie taught preschool and special needs children for over 20 years and was beloved by students and parents alike. Her memory will be cherished and celebrated always, whispered in the dog-eared pages of her favorite children’s book, “I Love You Forever,” by Robert Munsch.

Though it is with heavy hearts that her children commit her body to its final resting place and faithfully give her over to the blessed care of the Lord, they find comfort in her kind and loving legacy, and solace in Munsch’s passage, “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my mommy you’ll be.”

Marjorie is preceded in death by her husband, Steven Lee Storie; her parents, Charles and Helen Spade; and her sister, Judy. She is survived by her children, Angela (Neil) Fields, Andrea (Brian) Weist, Danielle (Tom) Hart, Charles Storie and Shawn (Elyse) Storie. Marjorie was truly blessed with 13 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She is also survived by siblings, Darrel (Joann) Spade, Larry (Martha) Spade and Rita (Ellis) May.

A celebration of life will be forthcoming.
