Marjorie Marsa Leah Wellman Belanger

March 8, 2018

Marjorie Marsa Leah Wellman Belanger, age 84, of Brewton, Alabama went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, March 4, 2018.  She was born on March 10, 1933 in Houston, Texas, the baby of nine children born to Benjamin Harrison and Myrtle Valentine Wellman.  Shortly after her birth they returned to Florida where she grew up in Lake Worth and West Palm Beach.

She married Bryan J. Belanger in 1950 and they were married 66 years until Bryan’s death in 2016 at the age of 84.  They had two children, Vickie and Bryan, Jr. whom they loved dearly. Her favorite pastimes were being a mother and homemaker, caring for her family, reading her Bible, teaching Sunday School, raising her children, grandchildren, great- grandchildren and great-great grandchild to love the Lord, and sharing Jesus with others.  As her love for the Lord grew she carried a small red New Testament Bible (King James Version) in her purse for many years so that she could accurately tell and share with others The Word of God. Marjorie was a kind person who truly followed God’s Commandment to Love Others.

Marjorie was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Bryan; her son, Bryan, Jr.; and seven brothers and sisters.

She is survived by her sister, Ada Wellman Baker of West Palm Beach, Florida; her daughter, Vickie Lynn Belanger (David) West of Berrydale, Florida; two grandsons,  David (Cecilla) West, ll of Remlap, Alabama and William Joseph West of Brewton, Alabama; four great-grandchildren, Dawson (Brandii) West, Jessica West, Danay West; two great-great grandchildren; a beloved sister-in- law, Jean Belanger (Davis) Woody; brother-in- law, John Belanger and many dear nieces and nephews and a special friend, Ashley Dykes, her faithful and loving Care Giver.  We appreciate more than words can express the sacrifices made by her precious family the many times Ashley would stay overtime with us to help with Margie’s unexpected needs.  And last, but not least, our family would like to thank Emerald Coast Hospice.  Each nurse and staff member exhibited love and compassion daily for our Mother and Grandmother during her last months.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Emerald Coast Hospice, 5536 Stewart Street, Milton, Florida, 32570.

Visitation will be held from 11:00 am til 12:00 pm with services following at 12:00 pm on Saturday, March 10, 2018 at Crossroads Community Church, 110 Grice Street, East Brewton, Alabama.  Jay Chapel is in charge of the arrangements
