Marjorie F. Wood

Marjorie F. Wood, 86, of North Liberty, passed away on Monday, December 12th in the St. Joseph Regional Medical Center of Mishawaka.

          Marge was born in Michigan City, Indiana to Walter and Grace M. (Butler) Coursel on August 14, 1936. She married the love of her life, Harold “Woody” Wood, on November 28, 1952 in Corinth, Mississippi. They were blessed with over 60 years together, before his passing on October 26, 2016. She enjoyed sewing, birdwatching, catching up on her favorite tv shows, yet her greatest joy came from spending time being with her loving family.

Marge was also the great grandmother of 18. She is also survived by her siblings, Helen Berndt of Valparasio, Wallace (Pat) Coursel and Alfred (Cookie) Jumche, both of Laporte. She was preceded in death by her parents, sisters, Mary Haskins, Bertha Harper and Margaret Lewis, her brothers, Robert, Albert and Fred Coursel, and her son-in-law John Szucs.
