"Marjorie Dawn (Dearborn) Bainbridge, age 89, died peacefully at the Mike Conley Hospice House, Clermont, Florida on April 21, 2017.
She was born October 31, 1927 in Blaine, Maine to Lenora Dearborn and Edson Smith.
Marjorie is survived by her three sons: Meryl (Elleta), Matthew (Bobbie), Jonathan (Lynda); foster daughter Joyce Munan'ya Titus; six grandchildren: Joshua (Amanda) Bainbridge, Christine (Drew) Howard, Carolyn (Isaac) Shafer, Amanda Bainbridge, Chelsea Bainbridge, Kayla (Baxter) Schlick, Grace Basele, Jacob Basele; six great grandchildren: AbbyLynn, Claire and Dean Bainbridge, Rhys, Claire and Maya Shafer.
She was preceded in death by her husband Rev. Clarence Bainbridge; her parents Lenora Dearborn and Edson Smith; her foster parents Vaughn and Belle McCrum; her daughter Carolyn; her brother Rev. Robert Dearborn.
She graduated from High School in 1947 and went to New Brunswick Bible Institute where she met Clarence, a fellow student. They were married immediately after graduation, on June 23, 1950 in United Baptist Church, Mars Hill, Maine.
They applied for the Africa Inland Mission, serving a three point parish in Coldstream, Canada while waiting for a mission call. They went to Kenya during the Mau Mau rebellion in 1953, and served in many locations until 1994. Marjorie ministered with African girls and women, Cadets for Christ, managed and operated a Christian book store, hostess of the mission boarding school food service and teacher during those many years. She ministered at Mbooni, Machakos, Kijabe, Mulango, Mombasa and Eldoret. She also served in various other positions in the years they were on furlough in Maine, New York and Florida. They finally retired and moved to the AIM retirement community at Media, Minneola, Florida in 1994.
She had a lifelong passion for gardening and flowers. She continued this with great enjoyment as they lived at Media. They lived in their own house until moving into the boarding home at Media in November 2011.
Plans for a memorial service in Mars Hill, Maine are pending."
