Ann
Benedict, age 86, of Alto, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on

January 18, 2010. Marjorie was born March 31, 1923 in Grand Rapids,
Michigan.
Her parents, Jack and Roscena Inman; her beloved husband, Walter; her
son-in-law, Roger Stanley and her granddaughter, Sarah Jane Stanley,
preceded

Nancy

Bignall of
California, Wayne and Phyllis Ullery of Delton, Jean Leach of Flint,
along with
several nieces, nephews, and cousins. Marge's greatest joy came from
spending
time with her family. She daily demonstrated the Fruit of the Spirit.
Her warm
smile and constant encouragement were a blessing to all. Marge is a
member of
Alto Baptist Church. Marge's life verse was "Trust in the Lord with all
of
your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding; in all your ways
acknowledge Him and He will direct your path," Proverbs 3:5-6. A
treasured
hymn was "Count your blessing, name them one by one". Interment
