Marjorie Mary Behunin Biggs Obituary (1922 - 2015)

Marjorie was born April 7, 1922 in Altonah, Duchesne Utah, to George Albert Behunin and Mary Jane Biddlecome Behunin. She was the tenth of eleven children. Marjorie grew up as a beautiful red head with freckles although she never much liked her freckles. She married Robert Hugh Biggs on April 23, 1938, marriage later solemnized in the Manti Temple. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Her beautiful crochet work adorns the altars of several temples. She was skilled in needlework, crocheting, knitting and quilting. She made most of her own clothes, as well as those of her two children, Gwen and Richard. She was a masterful gardener and her yards were a showcase of beauty. Marjorie lived through the depression as a young wife to Robert, and as a mother, so being resourceful and frugal was part of her life. She was a caregiver and always put her own needs behind those of others. She is survived by her sister and best friend Nina Mae Goodrich, her son Richard Biggs and wife Teresa, three grandchildren Sherrie Ingalls, Rodney Biggs and Travis Coon, three great grandchildren Jace and Raimee Coon, Shannon Coon, and one great great granddaughter Nora. She is preceded in death by her parents, 9 siblings, husband Robert Hugh Biggs and daughter Jessie Gwendolyn Biggs.
