E. Marie Insley

BIVALVE -- E. Marie Insley of Bivalve died Monday, Jan. 17, 2005, at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury. She was 97.

She was born in Bivalve to the late Howard C. and Lillie Mae Messick Anderson.

Mrs. Insley was a retired merchant, operating a store in Bivalve with her husband, William R. Insley. During World War II, Mrs. Insley was trained at Bethlehem Steel Company in Baltimore to become a welder, working on Liberty ships. She was proud of her part in the war effort and she and her husband worked there until the war ended.

Mrs. Insley is survived by her daughter, four grandchildren, three great-grandchildren; several nieces, nephews and cousins; and two devoted friends.

In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by a brother, Clifton Anderson; two sons, Howard Dean Insley and Donald Edmund Insley; and three grandchildren, Ramona Insley, W. Mark Hopkins and Donald P. Hopkins Jr.

Mrs. Insley was a member of Bivalve United Methodist Church and a longtime member of the Westside Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary.

She will be remembered by those who knew her best for her singing ability. She loved participating in hometown variety shows, usually ending her stint on stage with what became her signature song, "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey."

A funeral service will be held Saturday at 11 a.m. at Messick Funeral Home in Bivalve, where friends may call after 10 a.m. prior to the funeral. Interment will be in Bivalve Methodist Church Cemetery. The Rev. John Moore will officiate.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the West Side Fireman's Ladies Auxiliary, PO Box 73, Bivalve, Md. 21814.
