     LAKE ODESSA, MI -
   Marjory L. McDowell, age 88, of Lake Odessa, went peacefully to be with the Lord
on October 1, 2018 at the Hope Hospice Home in Lehigh Acres, FL.
   She was born on June 15, 1930 to Clyde and Alice (Preston) Jackson in
Clarksville, and grew up in the Lake Odessa area.  On June 15, 1952 (her birthday), she 
married Donald J. McDowell, and shared the next 58 years together as husband an wife.
   She will be dearly missed by her three children and five grandchildren, Stephen
M. (Christine) MDowell (Katie and Darrin) of Lehigh Acres, FL. , John P. (Karen) 
McDowell,  (Ryan and Matthew) of South Lyon, and Molly A. (Mark) Pomianowski (James 
Fenlon) of Dunedin, FL..  She is also survived by brothers and sisters-in-law, Wayne 
and Loretta Jackson, Harold Jackson, Rick and Trudy Jackson, Virginia and
Jim McArthur, Dolores (Ken) McDowel, Lyle (Trudy) Dickinson, many nieces and nephews and 
many dearly cherished friends and neighbors.
   She was preceded in death by her parents, Clyde and Alice Jackson;  spouse,
Donald McDowell; brothers-in-law Kenneth R. ad John A. McDowell;  sisters-in-law, Jean 
Jackson, Lois Jackson, Marion McDowell; nephew, Ford McDowell and great-nephew, Matthew 
Brewer.
   Marjory received her teaching degree from Western Michigan University and taught
at many elementary, junior high and high schools in Southeastern Lower Michigan, primarily 
in the Crestwood School District, Dearborn Heights, as a junior high science teacher.  She 
obtained her masters degree in library science from Eastern Michigan University and retired 
as high school librarian.
   She was also a full time mom and homemaker, and we are all amazed at the way she
was able to balance her work load and home life the way she did.
   She brought much joy and happiness, to all who knew her, and her family and
friends were the most important things in her life. A truly remarkable life indeed.
