Marjorie "Margie" P. Benton

Marjorie P. Benton, known as Margie to close family and friends, was born on July 2, 1946, in Olongapo, Philippines. Margie passed away peacefully at her home in Hammond, Indiana Sunday, May 10, 2026.

Margie was the beloved daughter of Lourdes and Ronald Hutchison, both of whom preceded her in death. She was one of five children, sibling to Cecilia, Josephine, Ronald (Jim,) and Ruthie.

Margie was a dedicated worker at Mercantile Bank until her retirement. After retiring, she embraced one of the roles she cherished most — lovingly caring for her great-granddaughter, Lucy, whose life brought her immense joy and pride.

Margie is survived by her two sons, Phillip Benton and his wife Susan Benton, and John Benton and his wife Julia Benton. She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Alexandra Conners and Aric Benton, along with her cherished great-grandchildren, Lucy Conners and Levi Conners.

Her legacy of compassion for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will continue to live on through the family and friends who were blessed to know her.

There are no services scheduled at this time.  Cremation has been entrusted to Hillside Funeral Home & Cremation Center, 8941 Kleinman Road, Highland, Indiana.  219-838-0800
