Marjorie was born in St. John's, NL, on August 17th, 1941. Marge attended Saint Patrick’s school where she excelled at piano for which she won numerous awards. Her working career included Bowring Brothers, Golden Eagle and Ultramar, Marge also headed the St. John’s portion of Slimdown for many years and also found time to Volunteer at The Agnes Pratt Home. She was known for her generosity and her immense kindness towards others. She loved a good conversation and welcomed the company of friends and family and always put others before herself. She was devoted to her family and friends and was always there to provide love and unwavering support. Marge was also an avid reader and loved sharing her books with friends. She had a profound love for dogs (Kasa, Tanner, Lily and Marlo) and is now resting peacefully in heaven with puppy Largo and Daisy. Marge’s proudest accomplishment is being a grandmother to her granddaughter (Riley), whom she loved dearly and spoke so highly of even during her last days. Marge will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
We extend a heartful thanks to Dr. Farrell, and to the nurses and staff of 7 East at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital. A special thank you to Doctor Joy Tilley (family physician) who truly cared for her. Also a special thanks to Brenda and Terry.
