EARLY, Marjorie Simpson, 99, of Palm City, FL died Tuesday, May 11, 2021.

Born in New Haven, CT on March 30, 1922, Midge was a graduate of Dana Hall and attended Smith College, her education interrupted by World War II. She lived most of their married life in Cincinnati, OH and retired to Stuart, FL. Recently, she has lived Sandhill Cove, Palm City,FL.

In her younger days she was a wonderful seamstress who made many of her three daughters' clothes herself; she was also an avid golfer, tennis player, and bridge enthusiast. Her happiest times were spent with family in Cedarville, MI where she and her beloved husband Donn built a summer home in 1958. She was well-known for jumping in and out of boats into her 80s, and will be remembered every time her family members make her top-secret Caesar salad recipe.

She is survived by two of  her daughters, Ann E. Morgan and her husband Frank of Palm City, FL, Jinnie E. Adams of Dallas, GA, four granddaughters Sara M. Truog (Oliver), Lindsay M. Sirak (Jeff), Amy E. Adams, and Robin M. Ruch (Jason), and five great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by her loving husband of 57 years, Donn D. Early, and her daughter Margaret E. Gallagher.

There will be no local services. The entire family will gather in Michigan this summer to Celebrate her life.

Memorials may be sent to the Little Traverse Conservancy, 3264 Powell Road, Harbor Springs, MI 49740.
