Marjorie Marie Bose passed on to rejoin family and friends on Sunday, September 29, 2019, at the age of 79 years, 7 months and 13 days.

She was a lifelong resident of western Oklahoma. Marjorie was born February 16, 1940 in Bessie, Oklahoma to Edward Johann Sr. and Margrete (Buffing) Bose. She was the eighth child of nine living siblings. She spent her first twelve years as part of a large family farming operation, harvesting wheat and raising cattle. As a small girl she quickly learned the skills necessary to feed and support those who ran the farm. At age twelve Marjorie lost her mother to cancer. She and her six-year-old sister went to live with her father's sister, Mary Wagner and husband, Fred, of Clinton. Thus, Marjorie closely identified with both the Bose and Wagner families.

Marjorie graduated from Clinton High School in 1958. She attended both OSU and SWOSU where she obtained a bachelor's degree and later a master's degree in education. After completing her first degree she spent a year in Japan where she developed a great understanding and love of the Japanese culture.

Upon returning from Japan, Marjorie taught elementary school in Altus. Her career path would eventually lead her to work for the State of Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitative Visual Services.

In her spare time, Marjorie felt a strong desire to give back through volunteering in many organizations. Some of those include Weatherford Opportunity Workshop, Sorosis, Kiwanis, Habitat for Humanity, Friends for Life, and a member of the First United Methodist Church of Weatherford.
Preceded in death by her parents, Edward Sr. and Margrete Bose; her second set of parents, Fred and Mary Wagner; brothers, Victor, Donald, Edward Sr. and Bob; and sisters, Lucille, Yvonne and infant sister, Anna Marie.

She is survived by her brother, Jim and wife, Brenda Bose of Stillwater and sister, Dolores Messick of Tulsa. Her nineteen nieces and nephews will long remember the "always dependable" birthday cards and the wonderful chats over breakfast.

She had a great love for the care and treatment of animals. Her final wishes to others would be to support local efforts whose goal is in line with her love.
