Marcus Cope
87, died at 7:50 AM on Sunday, March 26, 2017, at St. Rita's Inpatient Hospice Unit in Lima, Ohio.
Marcus was born on August 28, 1929, in Toledo, Ohio to Rev. Arthur T. and Grace {Robinault} Cope. On April 14, 1953, he married Marian {Harris} Cope. She preceded him in death on July 31, 2014.
He is survived by two daughters, Susan Cope of Lima, and Kim (David) Klingler, of Wapakoneta, OH; two sons, Gary (Deborah) Cope, of Toledo, OH, and Lance Cope, of Lima, OH; six grandchildren, Steve (Tamara) Cope, Matthew (Becky) Cope, Priscilla Cope, Zach Cope, Austin Klingler, and Jenessa Klingler, and several great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by a son, Scott Cope, and a grandchild, Clint Cope.
Marcus was a graduate of Lima Central High School in 1947 and then served in the US Army from 1951 to 1956 and during the Korean War. He worked for Ford Motor Company, Lima Engine Plant as an assembly line relief man. He knew how to do all the jobs on the assembly line and was so dedicated to his work that he only missed one day of work during his career. He retired on Jan 1, 1991. He enjoyed doing crossword puzzles, working outside, spending time with his family, and going on family vacation trips to Myrtle Beach. He was a fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes and enjoyed taking care of his wife Marian. He was admired and respected by his children for his Christian faith and his love and devotion to his family.
"Dad, we will miss you, until we see you again."
