Marjorie C. Gregorio, 64, of Port Arthur, passed away on Wednesday, December 30, 2015 at 3 p.m after battling Pancreatic Cancer. Even with her diagnosis, she did not let it take the best of her. She was able to celebrate 39 wonderful years with her husband before she left the world to be with God.

 She was born in Altavas, Aklan, Philippines but had been a resident of Port Arthur for over 10 years. She was the third daughter of the late Alejandra Barrientos Candelario and Eutiquio Matutina Candelario. In 1977, she completed her Bachelor’s degree of Nursing at the Philippine Women's University in Manila. She worked as a Registered Nurse at The Kidney Center of Beaumont and The Medical Center of SETX.

 Marjorie devoted herself to God by being a member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Choir and a member of the Holy Family Prayer Group PATX. She was a member of the Philippine Nurses Association. Her passions included cooking, dancing, fishing, and she was definitely an avid shopper. Marjorie was always happy, and she will be remembered as a selfless person. 

 Survivors include her husband, Romeo Gregorio; son, Mark Gregorio; daughters, Michelle and Mary Gregorio; sisters Yolly Mariano and her husband, Tino; June Lie Candelario, Novie Ann Rasgo and her husband Domxian; brothers, Arnold Candelario and his wife Wilma, Dante Candelario, Armand Candelario and his wife Methelyn, and Dennis Candelario and his wife Eva.

 A gathering of Mrs. Gregorio’s family and friends will be from 4:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., Friday, January 8, 2015, at Broussard’s, 505 North 12th Street, Nederland. A Funeral Mass will be at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, January 9, 2015, at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, 211 Hardy Avenue, Nederland. Cremation arrangements will be under the direction of Broussard’s Crematorium, Beaumont.
