Marjory Ann Hammontree was born Aug. 22, 1922, in Bolivar, the daughter of Dr. Ben and Laura Hammontree. She was brought into this world by her grandfather, Dr. Daniel E. Hammontree. She departed this life on Saturday, Aug. 5, 2000, at her home at the age of 77 years, 11 months and 14 days. Marjory was saved at the age of 12 years at the First Baptist Church in Bolivar, and when older she helped out in the primary department. She attended grade school and high school in Bolivar and belonged to the drum and bugle corps, girls' glee club and booster club. She graduated in May 1940. In June 1940 she was united in marriage to Ray A. Pitner, and to this union two sons were born, Dennis Ray and Stephen Lyle Pitner. Marjory was a stay-at-home mom. She was a Cub Scout den mother and room mother many times. She was a charter member of the Facts and Fiction club. Marjory and Ray kept busy by going to the boys' ball games. The family moved to Springfield due to a job transfer, and she began working for St. John's Regional Health Center, where she worked in the records room for five years. In 1983 when Ray retired, they moved to Table Rock Lake, which they enjoyed so much, until Ray's health made them move back to Bolivar to be close to doctors and the hospital. She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Ray, in 1995. She is survived by two sons, Dennis R. Pitner of Newport Beach, Calif., and Stephen Pitner and his wife, Claudine, of Austin, Texas; and five grandchildren. Services will be at 11 a.m. Friday, Aug. 11, in the Butler Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. Harold Hendrickson officiating. Burial will follow in Greenwood Cemetery.
