Marjorie married in 1955, she lived in Fairview until 1985, when she moved to Carroll's Corner. Later on she moved to Sackville to live with daughter, Wanda and then to live in Wittenburg with daughter, Pam. Her last month of life was spent in Harbourview Lodge in Sheet Harbour.
She was an avid gardener. She had many beautiful flower gardens and was a member of Country Garden Club. She was an active member of the Gays River United Church. You could find her in the kitchen for church suppers and card parties. She had the gift of hospitality, she always wanted to make sure you had something to eat when you visited. The grandkids always made a beeline to the yellow cookie can.
Thank you to Harbourview Lodge for the care given to her in her final days.
