Throughout her life, Marge Caldwell had no hesitation to pass the baton of faith on to anyone who wanted to carry it forward in Jesus’ name.
Can you say her name without smiling? Each Christian is here to exhibit God’s qualities; Marge’s were, among many others, beauty
and grace. Even her last moment here was wrapped with a graceful breath—in a way that only a true lady could have left this earth. At
times like this, we think of the things people who have passed to heaven have left with us. Marge left an invaluable, unique legacy that
transcends generations.
Marge’s books, mostly written for young ladies, are no longer in print, but some are available used from Amazon. Beth Moore mentions
Marge Caldwell in a video Bible study (The Patriarchs) . Beth Moore calls Marge Caldwell her “mentor.” Others have called her an
encourager, a Baptist Erma Bombeck, and spiritual mother.
Marge started counseling at the center when she was 70 years old. Prior to the center’s opening, Brother John Bisagno would
frequently find her counseling in a small room off of the Green Room. When it was decided to start a church counseling center, Brother
John said he wanted Marge to be a part of it. Marge even went to audit classes at the university level to further her education in
preparation for the new center, which began in 1983 with Dr. Charles Poor and Marge Caldwell. Additionally, in 2004, Marge and
Chuck were delighted as The Gay Caldwell Roper Center for Counselor Education of HFBC was founded in Marge’s honor.
Her laughter rang with contagious joy. But we will still hear her echo in our hearts saying, “Oh my soul! Can you believe it?” She was
always so excited about it all. Her laughter rang with contagious joy. But we will still hear her echo in our hearts saying, “Oh my soul!
