This prairie girl became a true Nova Scotian after 70 years of enjoying all areas of the province from Pinehurst, Truro, to Sydney and over 50 years in Dartmouth. She loved her fish dinners and nothing better than tearing apart a lobster. Marj loved the time at their cottage in Melville, Pictou County, walking the beach and endless evening games of scrabble and cribbage. Marj was always ready and excited for a day at the race course to watch her son drive too fast. She shared her talent of knitting, crocheting and needlework with all. Could spend the whole morning doing all the newspapers puzzles. As her mobility and eye sight failed she still enjoyed dining out monthly with the lunch bunch, listening to the radio and good conversation over a coffee. Especially school stories with her granddaughter, Jen. Visitation will be held from 2-4 and 7-9pm Friday, February 2 with a funeral service 10 am Saturday, February 3, Rev. Michael Mugford officiating, reception to follow all in Atlantic Funeral Home, 771 Main Street, Dartmouth. Burial in Dartmouth Memorial Gardens at later date.
