Marjorie Team

Margie was born October 13, 1931 in Kinston, North Carolina, the daughter of Lynn C. Ferrell and Ophelia O’Brian Ferrell. She graduated from Kinston High School in 1949 and from Salem College with a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance in 1953. While she was attending Salem College, she met Dr. Robert Alston Team, who was attending Bowman Gray School of Medicine. They married in 1954 and made their home in Lexington, raising five children. Margie was a devoted member of First Baptist Church, serving in many positions including Deacon and Sunday school teacher. Her passionate ministry, however, was music, through which she made a joyful noise unto the Lord in every way possible.

In addition to her husband and children, G-Mama also loved her grandchildren: Robert Alston Team, III and fiancée Courtney Rachel Piribek; Alexander Coleman Team and wife Sarah Simons Team; Jordan Elizabeth Team; David O’Brian Team, Jr.; Elinor Carr Kelly; and Samuel Henderson Kelly. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews, whom she loved dearly. Margie was preceded in death by her parents and her older sister Marilynn Ferrell Gay.
