Born January. 30, 1937, in Library, PA, she was the daughter of the late Edward R.

Marjorie was fortunate to have had two loves in her lifetime, first married on Apr. 9,

2001 to Donald (Jim) Neal (who passed away Jan. 22, 2019).
Marjorie owned and operated a hearing aid business in New Castle, PA as franchisee of
Beltone Hearing Aid center. Previously she lived in Butler, PA and worked as a
secretary for several businesses.
She was a 1954 graduate of Monongahela High School in Monongahela, PA. In addition
to being a loving wife and dedicated mother, Marjorie was a member of the Presbyterian
Church, and taught Sunday school classes. She enjoyed golfing, fishing, dancing,
bringing family together for holiday occasions, and was an exceptional cook.
Marjorie is survived by three children, Dale E. Gordon (Arvilla) of Tampa, Fla., Karen A.
Gordon of Palm Springs, Calif., Fred D. Gordon (Aracelly) of Coconut Creek, Fla.; and
one brother James Wright.
She was the proud grandmother of eight grandchildren, Tiffiny (Garrett) Weston, James
(Jill) Taylor, Nicholas Gordon, Jessica (Mike) Dickson, Megan (John) Hines, Natasha
Gordon, Katie Gordon, and Michelle Gordon; and nine great-grandchildren.
Marjorie was preceded in death by her father, mother, two spouses, a son Richard

date.

Florida law states “A cremation may not be performed until a legally authorized person gives written authorization for such cremation,” (FS 497.607).  Furthermore, the law defines whom the “legally authorized person” is and sets up the order of priority of next of kin. We require a written authorization before scheduling any cremation or funeral services. The “Authorization for Cremation and Disposition” form must be signed by the next of kin in the following order: spouse, son or daughter (of legal age), parent, brother or sister, grandchild, grandparent.
