Mrs. Marjorie “Margie” Louise Summerlin Eaddy, 91, passed away on January 22, 2020, at her home in Perry. Margie was born May 15, 1928, in Thomasville, Ga., to Mr. and Mrs. Pop Causey.

Margie volunteered with a mentoring program at the Perry Primary school, worked in the nursery at her church for many years and was the church librarian.
