Marjorie Jessica (Reid) McCollom, age 97, of Birmingham passed away at her residence on Sunday, September 30th, 2018. Marge was born June 28, 1921 in a small rural area called Center Springs to hard working farmers. Marge would always manage to go to church activities at Tabernacle Church, now known as Turning Point Church.

From her early childhood of working hard and trying to make things easier for her parents, she developed a desire to improve herself and help others. After graduating from Locust Fork High School in 1939, her desire was to go into the medical profession in order to help others. On Sunday, September 9, 1939, she packed her small suitcase and caught a ride with the paperman to Hillman Hospital in Birmingham. There she graduated with honors and became a very successful nurse. She later completed additional training and became one of the most sought after anesthetists in Jefferson County. She recieved numerous accolades from the many physicians she worked with in her lengthy and distinquished career.

Throughout her lifetime she was a member of the Garden Club, a member of the Shriners Ladies, a member of the Eastern Star, and a member of the American Legion. She enjoyed reading, needlework, gardening and traveling.
