To Watch Marge's Live Stream of the service ClickHere I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last….. Marjorie May Rice, 89, of Orwell Hill went home to be with her Lord on Monday, September 6, 2021, and was reunited with her husband Leland E. Rice, on what would have been their 61st wedding anniversary. Marge was born on January 9, 1932, in Gibson, Pennsylvania, a daughter of the late Charles Raymond and Lucina (Smith) Felton. On September 6, 1960, she married Leland E. Rice. Together they joined their families and were blessed with thirteen children. A devoted Christian, Marge lived her life serving others. Over the years, friendships were formed as she and Leland attended many local churches. She would mentor many to see the greatness that the Lord provided. Marge was a mother to many and would always be there to lend a listening ear or to offer "mom advice". Marge and Leland would sing God's praises by singing and ministering to others with the Praise Family Singers, her son Lee and the Hammerly Family. Many enjoyed her visits when she delivered meals or gave a friendly visit and words of encouragement to those who were shut in.
