Marjorie Hammond Sherwood, 71, died Monday, January 29, 2018, in Hendersonville, TN. Born on January 4, 1947, in Bridgeport, CT, she was a daughter of the late John Hammond Sherwood and Wanda Brauer Sherwood. Marjorie moved with her family to Columbia in 1964, where she joined Mt. Pleasant Methodist Church and graduated from Eau Claire High School.

Marjorie was an active volunteer in church and community activities. She often played concert bells for Mt. Pleasant congregants, and for assisted living and hospice residents. One of her joys was knitting hats for newborns. Her donations found their way to babies as far away as Peru. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to organizations helping children.
