On Saturday, September 28, 2019, Marjorie Marks Rhodes of Marietta, GA passed away at the age of 69. She is survived by her son, Clinton “Clint” Hall Rhodes of Midlothian, VA, her grand-dog, Mallorca of Midlothian, VA, and her sister, Jeanine Marks Carfagna of Vass, NC. She was born on August 6, 1950 to Thomas Dennard “T.D.” Marks and Lizzie Mae Gordon Marks in Richmond, VA. Her childhood home was in Warsaw, VA where she enjoyed her friends, animals, art, and playing sports. After graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1974, she moved to Atlanta, GA to pursue a career in the fashion industry. Her creative talents and love of nature would ultimately lead her to becoming a florist with Publix Supermarkets from 1992 until October of 2018. Marjorie loved making floral arrangements for her friends and customers. Her family and friends are forever grateful to the kindness, care, and support she received from the Historic Roswell Place Community during her brief stay there. While she is no longer physically with us, her creative spirit will always surround us.
The family will receive guests for visitation on Wednesday, October 2, 2019 between the hours of 5:00pm and 7:00pm at H.M. Patterson & Son - Canton Hill Chapel. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, October 19, 2019 at 11:00am at Warsaw Baptist Church, 226 Main Street, in Warsaw, Virginia.
