Marjorie Ann (Roe) Gipson, 81, passed away peacefully on March 15, 2025. She was surrounded by her loving family, who are all grateful for the wonderful care she received at Unity Health Medical Center.

Marjorie was born on September 14, 1943 to Marjorie Emogene and Reuben Conder. She was a lifelong resident of Des Arc, where she never met a stranger. She was a proud member of the Golden Magnolias (humorously referred to as the Frosted Flakes). You could most often find Margie on her front porch swing, drinking a cup of coffee, and visiting with her friends and family. She also spent her time fishing and was a proud gardener. She loved spring time when the flowers in her garden would bloom. Margie always looked forward to holiday gatherings, Hallmark Christmas movies and most cherished any time spent with her family and friends.

Marjorie and John Hugh were high school sweethearts, who were happily reunited and married on September 6, 2011. They spent the last, and best, 15 years of their lives together.

She was preceded in death by her parents, grandparents, her first husband (and father of her children), Jon Roe, and her son in law, Carlos Gates, along with numerous other family and friends.

Left to cherish her memory are: the love of her life, John Hugh Gipson; her precious pup, Millie Ann Gipson; her two children, Joni Gates, and Richard (Amy) Roe; her six grandchildren; Kimberly (Justin) Smith, Jacob  (Alexis) McMullan, Benjamin (Kelly) Mirabal, Kimberly (Ryan) Anderson, Megan (Taylor) Gunn, and Paige (Hunter) Roe; 6 great grandchildren, Aden, Alistair, Damian, Addison, Lucy, and Weston; and her siblings, Leslie (Sammie) Conder, Laura North, and, John (Donna) Conder; and several nieces and nephews along with extended family and friends.
