Marjorie grew up in the east end of Toronto (the Beaches). As a child, she enjoyed speed skating and playing baseball with her father, and attended Malvern Collegiate where she graduated from the secretarial program. Early in her working life, she met Edgar at Shell Oil, and they were married in 1951. They later moved from Mimico to Clarkson, where they built a home and raised their four daughters. In her early years she enjoyed playing bridge and poker with her friends. Marjorie always had a great flair for fashion and enjoyed wearing hats and having her hair done each week. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
