Marjory was born on October 23, 1932, in Shreveport, Louisiana and passed away peacefully on November 8, 2026, in West Monroe, Louisiana.

Marjory grew up in Shreveport, where she attended Wynn Memorial Methodist Church and graduated from Fair Park High School in 1951. She attended Centenary College before graduating with an Education degree from Southern Methodist University in 1955. She went on to earn a degree in nursing from Northwestern State University in 1958 and served as a registered nurse at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Shreveport.

While working as a nurse, Marjory planned to become a missionary in South America. Her life took a different path when she married the love of her life, Harold LaGrone, in 1959. They shared more than 64 years of love and companionship until Harold's death in 2024. In retirement, they traveled to Australia, Scandinavia, New Zealand, Russia, and other destinations, and took part in mission work in Alaska and Bolivia.

A devoted wife and loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Marjory centered her life on family, faith, and sharing the joy of Christ. She was an active supporter of McGuire Methodist Church beginning in 1970, where she and Harold faithfully attended services and taught Sunday school together. She volunteered at the Christian Community Center in Ouachita Parish, served in the women’s auxiliary of the Gideons, and participated in McGuire’s welcoming committee and in prison ministry. She was also an active member of Bible Study Fellowship for seven years, encouraging many others to become involved.

Marjory was preceded in death by her husband, Harold LaGrone. She is survived by her sister, Alice Demmings; her sons, John (Jennifer), Daniel (Donna), and Mark (Nevillyn); her grandchildren, Arden LaGrone, Claire LaGrone, Alexia LaGrone, and Allison Brown; and her great-grandchildren, Jake Brown and Lucas Brown.

Marjory left a legacy of love, faith, and service will continue to inspire generations to come.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Gideons.
