Marjorie Joan Brink's Obituary
Big Rapids - Marjorie (Marge) Joan Brink, age 90, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on April 8, 2022, at 3:45 AM.
Marge was born to Roy and Hazelle (Sprague) Brown in Big Rapids, MI on December 30, 1931. She graduated from Morley High School in 1949 and married Jim Brink in 1950. Jim and Marge were the originators and owners of Brink's Body Shop for over 40 years, where Marge worked beside Jim as secretary-treasurer. They both enjoyed their winters in Jensen Beach, FL.
She was a 60-year member and served in multiple capacities at First Baptist Church, and most recently attended Charity Baptist Church. Marge was a 50-year member of TOPS and the Jump and Run Extension group of MSU and also participated in 4-H.
Marge is survived by two sons, Steven (Brenda) Brink of Nappanee, IN, and Mark (Cindy) Brink of Lansing, MI; four grandchildren, Maggie (Daniel) Carr, Christy (Kevin) Harrold, Eric Brink, and Amy (Vince) Lott; as well as six great-grandchildren; and a very special niece, Marilyn Myers. For many years, Marge anxiously awaited her reunion in Heaven with her husband Jim Brink and two infant children, David and Susan. She was also preceded in death by her parents, sister Doris (Melvin) Blake, and brothers Franklin (Fuzzy) Brown and Robert (Dorothy) Brown.
The family wishes to thank the staff of Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital and Evergreen Terrace Assisted Living.
