Marjorie Brumsey
Marjorie Brumsey of Southampton died on June 10. She was 82.
Ms. Brumsey was born February 24, 1939, in Norfolk, Virginia, to the late Claude Bright Jr. and Annie Harper Bright. She attended Currituck Union School in North Carolina where she met George Brumsey Jr.
On July 27, 1957, the couple was united in marriage. Soon after their union, they relocated to Southampton, where they spent 61 years together in the community.
She was a devoted wife and mother who loved her family, her family said. She always wanted the best for her family, whether it was continuing their education or joining the military. She found time to attend her children’s and grandchildren’s events, football games, basketball games and track meets. She loved cooking, shopping and did whatever was necessary to make her family happy, her family noted.
She also loved traveling, they said. Every Memorial Day holiday, she would look forward to the annual trip to Elizabeth City, North Carolina to attend the family reunion.
Ms. Brumsey was a member of the Community Baptist Church and served as an usher for many years.
In her early days, she worked at Row Industries in Sag Harbor. She retired from Southampton Hospital after 29 years of service.
