Marjorie B. Reese was a quiet woman who wasn't afraid to learn new things.
After dedicating much of her life to her husband, children and grandchildren, Mrs. Reese, a native of Augusta, found time in recent years to pursue her own interests.
"About three or four years ago, she got a computer and learned how to surf the 'Net," said Mrs. Reese's daughter, Mary Beth Reeves of Augusta.

Mrs. Reese spent most of her life in the house where she was born. She raised her children and grandchildren there.

"She wanted to draw and paint," Mrs. Reeves said. "She did a few small things."
Mrs. Reese was close to her grandchildren and one granddaughter left her job to be closer to Mrs. Reese when she learned that her grandmother was ill, Mrs. Reeves said.
