Marjorie “Marge” T. Gorbett, longtime resident of Brooksville passed away on December 30, 2020 at the youthful age of 90.  She was born in Windsor Vermont on March 4 1930 to the late Frank E. and Cecelia Smythe Davis.  She grew up in Cleveland Ohio and graduated from Villa Angela Academy.  Marge's devotion to her Catholic faith was unprecedented and she took much comfort in the nightly prayer of the rosary.

She is preceded in death by her loving husband Robert Roy Gorbett Jr and is survived by her five children Karen Gorbett (Steve) Rockville Maryland, Robert R Gorbett III (Mary) Woodbury Connecticut, Sue Runion (Lee Roy) Hastings FL, Nancy Dooley (Sean) Daytona Beach FL, Dianne Swain (Rick) Brooksville FL, sister-in-law Sandy (Piermatteo) Davis, Gulph Mills PA, eight grandchildren Veronica Gorbett, Michelle Shaffer, Robert Shaffer, Kaitlynn Minnie, Mike Minnie, Lindsey Scardino, Ricky Swain, Cece Swain and 5 great grandchildren. 

She had an extremely huge heart, warm infectious smile, witty sense of humor and a remarkable positive attitude. She never met a stranger and never turned down an opportunity to play Bingo.  She was a loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother to her family.  Her love and light in this world will be dearly missed.

Father Craig Morley will be officiating a mass service for family. Virtual Memorial Notice to Be Announced.  Merritt Funeral Home
