Marjorie Little Everett, 91, peacefully transitioned from her earthly home to her heavenly home on April 30, 2022 after a brief battle with cancer.
A funeral service to honor and commemorate her life will be held on Thursday, May 5 at 2 pm at Winterville Baptist Church, with a graveside service to follow in the Reedy Branch Free Will Baptist Church Cemetery. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service in the Winterville Baptist Church fellowship hall.
Marjorie, a Pitt County native, was a 1950 graduate of Winterville High School and 1953 graduate of Norfolk General Hospital School of Nursing. She was a nurse for 20 years before transitioning to the public health field, retiring from the Pitt County Health Department in 1996.
