Marjorie M. DeVault, 97, of Reynolds, passed away peacefully and surrounded by her family at 2:26 p.m., Monday, January 5, 2026, at St. Anthony Health Care in Lafayette, Indiana.

  Marjorie was born September 27, 1928, in Monon to the late Wilbur and Sylvia (Simpson) Burks.  She was a graduate of Monon High School Class of 1946, where she was a cheerleader on the White County award-winning spirit team.

  Marjorie married her high school sweetheart, Robert Keith DeVault on February 26, 1947, in Franklin, Indiana. 

  Marjorie was a homemaker who raised the couple’s seven children while also helping with the family farm drainage business. She then worked at RCA in Monticello.  She devoted many of her later years as a nurturing caregiver to many of her grandchildren, a role that brought her great joy.

  Marjorie loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.  She was a tremendous cook, enjoyed crossword puzzles and always kept her house and yard immaculate, mowing her own yard until she was 93 years old.  For 21 recent years she was guest of honor at the annual “Margefest” event, where family and friends celebrated her many birthdays with love and good times.

  She was a longtime member of the Monon Community Church.

  Surviving are her children, Robert J. DeVault (Linda), Roger K. DeVault (Cynthia), Diana M. Foust (Dan), Bette L. Bilyeu, Karen K. Yoder (Randy), Richard L. DeVault and Randal R. DeVault (Anita); a brother, Ronald Burks (Linda) and her grandchildren, Jason (Chaslyn), Jaime (Josh), Mischelle (Troy), Skylar, Ryan (Kristyn), Melissa, Amanda, Tyler (Megan), Kasey (Shaun), Todd, Brittney (Wes), Brian, Kiley (Mel), Cammron (Kristen) and 27 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

  Preceding her in death along with her parents and husband are 5 siblings: Robert Burks, JoAnn Hughes, Russell Burks, George Burks and Carolyn Sue Graham-Dunn.

  The family would like to extend their thanks and gratitude to St. Anthony’s for the excellent care that was given to Marjorie.

  Friends may call from 11 a.m. until the time of funeral service at 1 p.m., Monday, January 12, 2026, at Clapper Family Funeral Home of Monon; Pastor Dan Fisher to officiate.  Interment to follow in Monon Cemetery.
