Margie Marie Fields

Margie Marie Lamar was born in Augusta, Georgia, on June 7, 1939, and entered eternal rest on Thursday, June 6, 2024. She was an exceptional woman of strong faith who spoke life into everyone, made sure they were fed, gave them a good laugh, and even her last if needed.  She was strong, independent, and full of energy. Her unconditional love, forgiveness, grace, and kindness warmed the hearts of those around her. She was talkative, friendly, quick-witted, and had the most infectious personality, which attracted folks from all walks of life. She never met a stranger. While her family was everything to her, she shared her love with the world.
