Marjolane (Kellam) Bidlack, 88, of Franklin, IN passed away peacefully in her own home, where she was cared for by her family and loving caregivers on Thursday, May 1, 2025.

She was born October 15, 1936 in Indianapolis, IN.

Marjolane was a wonderful wife to Robert W. Bidlack, Pastor of Bible Doctrine Church in Indianapolis, IN.  She loved her role as a Pastor's wife.

She was a mother who made sure her two twin daughters knew that they were sinners, but saved by grace after accepting by faith that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again.  She and her husband Bob started the cycle of what is now generations of Bible believing saved family members!  What a legacy!

She was the kind of homemaker that loved to decorate everything beautifully and worked hard at making everything around her reflect that love. Her home and gardens were always beautiful, by her own handiwork.  She was quite capable at making her visions of beauty come to life, by refinishing floors, adding moldings, painting and setting beautiful tables for every occasion.

Marjolane is survived by her children Muri Causey (Kerry) of Needham, IN and Kelly Ankney (Dean) of Martinsville, IN, her grandchildren Cole Ankney (Audrey), Cade Ankney, Dayne Causey (Michaela), Aleah Causey, her great grandchildren Lydia Ankney, Elsie Ankney and Luna Ankney, her niece Debbie Kellam of Arizona and her nephew Mark Kellam of Missouri.

She was preceded in death by her parents LeRoe B. Kellam and Marjorie (Murray) Martin, her husband Robert W. Bidlack, her brother Wesley Martin and her beloved brother Birt L. Kellam.

Pastor Dow Boyer will conduct a service on Thursday, May 8, 2025 at 1PM at Gracepoint Church 330 West Whiteland Road New Whiteland, IN where friends may call from 12 Noon until service time at the church.  A private family graveside will be at Spring Hill Cemetery in Cartersburg, Hendricks County, Indiana.
