Marjorie “Marge” Goss McCarthy, 86, a longtime resident of Okarche, OK, was born on April 18, 1938, to Henry and Marguerite Goss of Houston, TX, and was peacefully promoted to God’s kingdom on March 13, 2025.
As a mother of four, grandmother of four, sister, aunt, and daughter, Marge was a beacon of love and strength to all who knew her. Marge entered hospice at home in 2023, and we have had the privilege of caring for Marge every day. Marge’s kindness, warmth, wisdom, and sense of humor will continue to guide us as we honor her in this physical life.
Marge loved her family, the beach, butterflies, flowers, garden, estate sales, and shopping for various treasures. Marge texted beautiful sayings and pictures to everyone each day. Marge loved the Oklahoma Sooners and, even through her journey of hospice, celebrated all the wins and provided advice to the team many times through the TV during a loss. Marge always had her Sooner t-shirt and a lucky charm button near her. Marge loved sweets, with her favorites being lemon, chocolate, vanilla taffy, and banana pudding.
Marge’s favorite holiday was Christmas, and over the years, I spent hours and hours finding special ornaments, Santas, baby Jesus, and angels. Christmas Eve always ended with the family reading “Twas the Night before Christmas”. Marge created many holiday traditions that will live on in her spirit.
For many years, Marge traveled with her family to exciting places and loved all the adventures. Marge poured her heart into her family and grandchildren. Marge shared many passions with each grandchild, from art to flowers, to sports, to building things, and celebrated each in their unique way. Marge’s laughter, her wisdom, and her unwavering love will forever be etched in our hearts. Marge will be welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven to be with her firstborn son, sisters, parents, and our Heavenly Father.
Sanders Funeral Service is entrusted with Marge’s service arrangements. The family will have a come-and-go celebration of Marge’s life at 315 Memorial Dr. Okarche, OK, on Saturday, April 12th, from 1 to 4.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations in Marjorie’s name be made to the Center of Family Love in Okarche, OK.
