Marjorie Gaskill

Marjorie Joan Gaskill, 84, was ushered into the presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Sunday, March 12, 2023, at 10 p.m. There she was reunited with her husband of 65 years, Larry E. Gaskill, who preceded her just over six weeks ago, on January 24. So shall they ever be with the Lord. She was born March 9, 1939, the youngest of six children, to Noah and Amelia (Badertscher) Sprunger of Berne.
She graduated from Adams Central High School and later went on to earn her certification in dietary management which served her well in her love of cooking and serving food. Early in her working career, she was employed at S.S. Kresge in Fort Wayne, later at Parkway Restaurant in Berne, also the former Food Town/Corner Meat Market in Berne, for several years at the locally famous Poplar Restaurant of Berne, The Rustic Cove of Bluffton and for the last 25 years was the head cook and dietitian at the former Chalet Village of Berne. Almost everywhere she worked, she worked with food and feeding people, which was one of her favorite ways to express and communicate love.
She loved cooking, canning, camping and cross-stitching, but dearest to her heart was her family. She was a devoted wife, hardworking mother and supportive and loyal grandmother. She lived sacrificially for her grandkids to cheer them on in 4-H, football, wrestling or whatever endeavors they pursued. Her grandkids always knew Grandma was in their corner.
She was a member of Grace Bible Church of Berne.
She is survived by two sons, Randy (Emiley) Gaskill of Monroe; and Jeff (Becky) Gaskill of Berne; and daughter, Vicki Gaskill of Berne; nine grandchildren, Aaron Gaskill; Brandon (Lindsey) Gaskill; Craig (Tazza) Gaskill; Bryan (Norine) Gaskill; Mandy (Clarence) Franklin; Jesse (Jamie) Gaskill; Joshua (Lori) Gaskill; Holly Gaskill; and Amelia Gaskill; and 16 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by parents; two sisters, Helen Buckingham; and Katherine Sprunger; and three brothers, Roger Sprunger; Adrian Sprunger; and Stanley Sprunger.
