(From Hedge-Lewis-Goodwin)Marjorie Louise Boulware, 93, a longtime resident of Webb City, Missouri, passed away peacefully Tuesday morning, January 2, 2024, in the comfort of her home, following a recent decline in health. Born on May 23, 1930, in Galena, Kansas, Marjorie's life was a testament to the power of kindness and devotion.
Marjorie's journey began as the cherished daughter of her late parents, Henry Myers and Goldie (Fanning) Myers, in the small town of Galena, Kansas. She grew up surrounded by the love of her family, including her five brothers and two sisters. Her early education was completed at Galena High School, where she graduated in 1947.
She furthered her studies at Joplin Business College and Apostolic Faith Bible School in Baxter Springs, Kansas. It was there that she met Jack Boulware, the love of her life, and they married on March 24, 1951. Together, they built a life filled with joy. Jack passed away too soon on September 1, 2007.
Marjorie's legacy is carried on by her loving family. She is survived by her five children: Van Boulware and his wife, Suzanne, of Joplin; Launa Thompson and her husband, Bruce, of Oronogo; Troy Boulware and his wife, Carla, of Newburgh, Indiana; Carole Myers and her husband, Doug, of Joplin; and Cayla Pinner and her husband, Greg, of Magnolia, Arkansas. Her lineage includes thirteen grandchildren, thirty-nine great-grandchildren, and six great-great-grandchildren, all of whom will miss her dearly. She also leaves behind her sister, Deloris Smith of Galena, Kansas, and a host of other family members and friends who were blessed to know her.
Marjorie dedicated her life to her family, serving as a devoted homemaker. Her home was always a place of warmth and welcome, a testament to her loving care. She was a pillar of her community, especially at Frisco Church in Webb City. As a longtime faithful member, she taught Sunday School for nearly 60 years, touching countless lives with her wisdom and kindness. Marjorie also served her church as the Vacation Bible School Director and Treasurer, roles in which she demonstrated her unwavering commitment to her faith.
Her interests were a reflection of her nurturing spirit. Marjorie found joy in flower gardening, creating a vibrant tapestry of color that mirrored the beauty of her soul. She took great pride in caring for her home, ensuring it was a sanctuary for all who entered. An avid reader of the Bible, she found strength and solace in its teachings. Marjorie also enjoyed shopping, always on the lookout for the perfect item. Above all, she cherished the time spent visiting with family and friends, each moment a precious memory.
Marjorie was the embodiment of love, kindness, and faith. Her life was a living example of these virtues, and she will be remembered for the gentle strength and quiet grace she brought to every encounter. Her unwavering faith was the cornerstone of her existence, guiding her through life's challenges and joys.
