Marjorie was born on March 15, 1930, in Cave Ridge,
Kentucky, to Fred Smith and Edna (Harper) Smith. At
the age of 12, she moved to Lincoln, Illinois with
her family, where she later graduated from high
school. She moved from Lincoln to Grand Rapids in
the spring of 2009 to be closer to family.
Marjorie built a successful career as a Tupperware
sales manager, becoming one of the top sales
managers in the United States for many years and
earning numerous sales awards throughout her career.
She was also deeply involved in her church
community, where her faith and dedication were
evident to all who knew her.
She was known for her kindness, strength,
generosity, and her lovely sense of humor. Marjorie
had a deep and abiding faith, knowing Jesus in a way
that inspired those around her, and she sincerely
hoped others would come to know Him as she did.
Marjorie was preceded in death by her husband, Bob
(Robert Wilmert); her parents; her sisters, Laura
Nell “Tab” (Smith), Joanne (Klockenga), and Nancy
(Sprague); and her brother, Larry Smith. She is
survived by her sister, Sue (Teng) of Chicago,
Illinois.
She is also survived by her two children, Terry
Wilmert of Ada, Michigan, and Don Wilmert of
Marshall, Minnesota; her grandchildren, Sarah Perks,
David Wilmert, Stacey Wilmert, and Randy Wilmert; as
well as ten great-grandchildren and four
great-great-grandchildren. |
