Marjorie Tate, a 54-year-old nurse from McKinney, Texas, was found dead on November 16, 2020. Her death was a result of a murder-suicide carried out by her boyfriend, Marcus Tate-Clay, who was 42 years old. Marjorie was reported missing by one of her children on November 18, 2020, after she was last seen two days earlier, finishing her shift at Texoma Medical Center.
When police arrived at her home, they discovered Marjorie dead from a gunshot wound, along with Marcus Tate-Clay, who had apparently taken his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Marjorie's coworkers and friends were shocked by the incident, as she had never expressed any concerns about her safety or her relationship with Marcus. They described her as a kind and helpful woman who always spoke positively about her boyfriend. The motive behind the murder-suicide remains unclear, and the investigation is ongoing. Autopsy reports for both Marjorie and Marcus have not yet been completed, leaving some questions unanswered.
The tragic event has left Marjorie's family, friends, and coworkers in mourning. Her funeral was held on November 27, 2020, while Marcus Tate-Clay's celebration of life took place on December 5, 2020. The community continues to grapple with the loss of Marjorie, a dedicated nurse who touched many lives through her work and kindness.
