Marjorie Joan Tabor, (84) of Hillsboro, Oregon passed away of heart disease on November 22, 2016. She was born April 25, 1932, in Portland, Oregon to Walter and Madeline Schmidt. In 1949, Margie graduated from Hermiston, Oregon and continued on to Eastern Oregon College of Education graduating with her teaching certificate in 1952. Margie married Glenard "Glen" Tabor in 1952 and was married to him for 52 years until his death in 2004. Together they had six children.
Margie's love of children touched her career where she found her passion as an elementary teacher. She taught for one year before beginning her family. When Glen and Margie were blessed with children, Margie substitute taught while raising her young children. In 1969, Glen and Margie were transferred from Oregon to Omaha, Nebraska with Union Pacific. Margie returned to school and graduated with a bachelor's in education in 1971. She returned to teaching full time at Bryan Elementary School in the Millard School District in Omaha, where she became the Nebraska teacher of the year in 1980. She was also a member of Alpha Delta Kappa, a teacher honorary.
Active throughout her life in the Methodist Church, Margie developed a deep faith. While living in Millard she was active in Faith Westwood United Methodist Church.
When Margie retired in 1989, she moved with her husband to Hillsboro, Oregon. While living in Hillsboro, she continued to learn so she could help others, including taking Spanish classes to be able to assist bilingual children in the classroom. Until the end of her life, Margie always wanted to return to teaching, even after her health would not allow it.
