Marjorie Schlimme Bartone, 93, of Strasburg, passed away peacefully in her home of more than 52 years on Wednesday, February 5, 2025. She was surrounded by love and her Classic Country music. She was born in Compass, Chester County, and was one of 11 children of Fred Schlimme and Helen Thompson Schlimme. Marjorie is predeceased by her parents and siblings and the two great loves of her life, her husband Donald Joseph Bartone, and her long-time companion John W. (Jack) Gass. Surviving is her son, Donald J. Bartone, II (Lancaster), her daughters Beth Anne Good (Montana) and Kerry L. Bartone (Lancaster), and her grandchildren Joshua Allen French, Jared Michael French, and Adam Joseph Bartone and many nieces and nephews.

Marjorie's dedication was always to her family first. Employed outside of the home at various times in her life (Lukens Steel, Penn Dairies and Educator's Mutual Life Insurance) her most cherished and important role was always as 'Mom', 'Mom-Mom' and 'Aunt Margie'. Her greatest joy was her home, helping others, and walking down the 'back road' and around and about Strasburg talking and visiting with neighbors and friends. One of her most cherished memories that she frequently shared was around the time spent at the camper with Jack at the Avalon Campground and the summers with her grandchildren and loved ones at the Jersey shore. The world needs more people like Marjorie; kind and pure of heart, the ability to accept and forgive others unconditionally, and always ready to lend a helping hand.

Private interment with her husband will be in Saint Cecilia's Cemetery, Coatesville, PA.
