God called another angel home.  Marjorie Virginia (Knowles) Burford, 101, of Dunbar, WV passed away on Sat., Oct. 16, 2021 at the home of her son and daughter-in-law in Hillsboro, WV, where she had resided her last three years.

Marjorie was born to the late James and Rosa Belle Knowles of Charleston, WV on August 16, 1920.  She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Charlie, Arlie, Darlie, Jimmy and Billy Knowles and sisters, Georgie McDaniel, Alma Withrow, Ruby Armstrong and Joe O'Dell.

She was also preceded in death by her husband, Eugene (Bill) Burford, whom she referred to as her sweetheart; sons, Tommy and Jerry Burford; grandson, Allen Burford; daughter, Margenea Clements; and sons-in-law, Robert Myers and Jerry Casto.

Left to cherish Marjorie's memory are her children, Gene and Leah Burford of Hillsboro, WV; Donnie and Karen Burford of St. Albans; WV; Barry and Jewell Burford of Charleston, WV and Libby Casto of Scott Depot, WV; sixteen grandchildren; twenty-seven great-grandchildren, nine great-great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Marjorie loved to recount the years she spent as a volunteer at Thomas Memorial Hospital.  She also spent several hours sewing and dressing dolls and bears for children for Christmas.

She loved gardening, from watching a beautiful rose appear, to watching a stray watermelon seed grow.  Whatever God provided, she would give it a whirl.

A devout Christian, she was a member of the McKinnon Presbyterian Church.  After moving to St. Albans, she attended the First Baptist Church, where she was a member of the Rebecca Class.  While living in Hillsboro, she attended Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church.  She loved to teach the children, and share her stories with us.

The family would like to sincerely thank Gene and Leah for their dedication, care and the home they provided our mom.

If mom were here next Saturday, she would be in front of the tv saying "Go, West Virginia".

A funeral service will be held at First Baptist Church in St. Albans, WV at 1:00 PM Wed., Oct. 20 with visitation beginning at 11:30 A.M. until the time of service.

Interment will follow at Spring Hill Cemetery Park in Charleston.
