Marjorie Lykins Cushard Bland Winkelman, 83, of Mansfield, passed away Thursday, June 23, 2016, after a long illness. She was born January 4, 1933, in Newport, Kentucky to Isiah and Gertrude (Caudill) Lykins.
Marjorie had a great sense of humor and loved her family more than anything in the world. Holidays were a special time and she enjoyed decorating throughout the seasons. Energetic and bubbly, Marjorie could dance circles around anyone. Full of life and an uplifting joy to others, everyone will remember the beautiful smile Marjorie was always wearing. A giver at heart, she was honored and happy to take care of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren-all of whom live in Mansfield-and shower them with love and affection. Her creative and festive ideas and creations will long be remembered fondly.
She is survived by a sister, Garnet Mabry of Grayson, KY; two daughters, Kathy (Mark) Cushard and Kristi Bland (Judy Payton); three sons, John (Nancy) Cushard, Dan (Amy) Cushard, Fred (Dora) Cushard; seventeen grandchildren; and thirty-one great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; two sons, Randy Cushard of Luthersville, GA and Robert Cushard of Mansfield; three husbands, Robert Cushard, Walter Bland and Fred Winkelman; two sisters, Jewell Burchett and Thelma Shears; and three brothers, Jerry, Jack and Dorsey Lykins.
