I'm a bit late to this but I want to add on to her story all the same. I worked with Marnita for 2 years and she was always smiling and laughing either with me or with others. She was always up to the task of helping others and working through a situation. I was heartbroken to hear of her passing from a former co worker. I'll rest easy knowing of the impact she had on my and all who worked with her's lives. 

We had some good times. You will always be my friend.  One day we will  meet again. But for now rest my friend. You will always be in my heart.

I thought the world of Marnita. I think at 1st we may have gotten off on the wrong foot but a couple incidents broke the ice for us and I grew to really appreciate and admire her. Her stories about Lucy helped me to see her as a person outside of being my boss.  I felt she understood me in ways not many do. She helped me complete tasks I worried I couldnt due to my OCD.She forgot me inside Target once, I will never forget that,for many reasons but mostly because that was something I could give her a hard time about whenever we needed a laugh. Target will never be able to refill her position with just one person. She was one of a kind. 

Nina!  My Wilcox bestie since 1972!  We were blessed to have had great parents who loved us and brought us up right!!  Nina and I did almost everything together when since age 9. Even walked to Lawrence upper grade and was in the same division with Mr Noverini. We jumped rope, raced, played hopscotch, sat on each other porches talking etc. We talked about EVERYTHING as teens. She gave me my first godson Martel in 1980!  She even started calling me the name You baby to which this day her and her sister Gwen and I are the only members! Although she moved relocated to Iowa , the love between us stayed.  I am sad she’s gone but God makes no mistake.  Praying  for all of the family.  I love you all!! U-Baby chain has been broken.  God help us

Sending prayers and condolences to the Morgan family.  Rest in Lady Warrior.

I remember Marnita from high school, always smiling.  She was quite an athlete, playing both basketball and volleyball.  My deepest condolences and sympathies to her family and friends.  May God rest your soul classmate, you will be missed.

Marnita was such a special person!   She always made me laugh and feel so very special.  I loved hearing her Lucy stories!  She wasn’t just my closing manager on the nights I closed lanes she was a dear friend, who I knew I could always count on!

Oh Marnita. You turned the worst days into the best.  I knew you would be just as excited as I was about every milestone in Freddie's life. I'll think of you every time I buy her a new outfit. 

Marnita was a wonderful lady, she was so much fun to work with.  There's a sadness when I work now knowing I'll never see her again. I'm a better person for knowing her. She was one of the best people I ever knew.  She was a hard worker,  kind, and always made me laugh. She will be missed so much, I'm proud to call her my friend. 

What a wonderful lady! I enjoyed swapping fur baby stories and pictures so much with Marnita. She had such a calmness about her and I loved working with her on our Tuesday nights.

Marnita was so much more than a boss to me she was family. I will forever miss walking around the store after close laughing with her and her wonderful lucy stories. Marnita was there for me during some of the hardest times in my life. I’m so grateful that i was able to know and love her. She will be greatly missed💜

Marnita was like a second mom to me. One of my favorite memories was the day before my birthday last year she had everyone say over the walkie at work happy birthday to me (but I was on my break and didn’t know it happened) and we both thought it was so funny. I told her it made me feel loved regardless and she told me that I was so loved. I knew I could always count on her to be there for me and support me to become who I am today. Through ups and downs she would always be by my side. 💜

Your laugh, your attitude, your passion and your love will truly be missed by so many people. My family is feeling extreme heartbreak from this loss. You were part of our family and we will miss you so much. 

Thinking of everyone impacted by this loss. Marnita, you were a light and you will be so missed. 

Marnita was so much more than a boss or coworker. She was a friend and an amazing person. She was a rock for all of her crew, we knew she always had our backs and she truly cared about others. We loved her wit and sarcasm,  her laugh and her smile! She made every day better when she was around. She is irreplaceable and will be so missed.
