Marjorie married Wayne in June of 1958 after Boogie-Woogieing and Bee-Bopping around rural Alberta dance halls where they decided to be each other’s forever dance partners.
Margie loved fresh garden veggies, mulligan stew, a cold coke a cola and a sweet treat. She loved movies, music and dancing and especially loved sharing it all with others. They were kind of known for dragging the youngins along on their adventures especially before they had their own kids.
She had a “back room” stocked with presents, nicknacks, ribbons and bows. Always ready to throw a wedding shower or pull together a thoughtful birthday present. She loved having family and friends around her and was always up for a visit. Whether it was an impromptu pool party or her final farewell at her bedside she was bringing everyone together with love
.
One of her grandchildren described her perfectly.
“She made me feel important when it felt like no one else saw me”
Margie was so full of love… that was her gift… and she shared it with us all.
In lieu of flowers please go out and get a treat and share it with someone important to you.
It is with love and thoughtfulness that we will remember you Marj
A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, June 16, 2022, at 11:00 am at St Bonaventure Church (1600 Acadia Drive SE, Calgary, AB). Please RSVP to joannmervin@gmail.com
