Marjorie had a wonderful life.

In England Mom worked in Cadbury’s Chocolate factory. In Vancouver for Burrard Dry Docks and Woodwards in the office. The family emigrated to Quebec in 1967, and moved to Vancouver in 1972.

Mom and Dad retired to the Sunshine Coast in 1980, where they enjoyed the beaches and friends they made. They had many happy trips to Hawaii, Europe and Australia. They loved the sunshine.

Marjorie came to live in Qualicum Beach in 2001 to be closer to her daughter Janet and family. She really enjoyed Qualicum especially the beautiful beaches and loved living in her cute house in the village.

A special thank you to her wonderful compassionate care givers, from Parksville Home Support, especially Lynda Williams, and to Bonnie Lapostie (her private caregiver). They all made her life much more enjoyable and fun. To the angel caregivers that work effortlessly with great compassion at Eagle Park, a heartfelt thank you. To Hospice for their caring in her last few days. To Dr. McIntyre for also caring.

May we all remember mom’s sense of humour and her love of chocolate and flowers ... rest in peace, Mom, and keep the party going in Heaven.
