It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing

daughter of the late Nehemiah and Annie Smith.
Marjorie enjoyed working as a sales clerk at Zellers Ltd.
& GB Murphy Jewelry Store. She also enjoyed working as a
Secretary for John Phelan Optometry & Calvin Smith Optometry
in Fredericton, NB where she had a special bond with her employers
& their families, knitting and making crafts as well as being
a close friend. She was an active member of Christ Church Parish
Church & enjoyed participating in their different groups,
especially their craft group & auxiliary group. She will be
fondly remembered for her fancy cooking of breads & sweets for
their different events including helping to prepare for their bazaar
event they had annually. She also enjoyed making crafts &
knitting making sweaters, mittens & socks for her
family & for her close friends. She also enjoyed
helping others and would always have a special treat made for the
events that were held in the entertainment room of the apartment
building that they lived at. She was not an active TV watcher but did
enjoy reading of magazine’s and novels.
In addition to her parents Marjorie is pre deceased by her
husband Irving Grant; sister Beryl Burgess; Brothers Neville Smith

A special thank you & mention to her sister-in law
Marvin Smith who was more like a sister who did so much for her after
Marjorie’s husband Irving passed away.
Marjorie will be fondly remembered by her daughter Heather
Anthony (Brian); grandchildren Miles Anthony, Jill Anthony (Ryan),
step grandchildren Randy Anthony (Amanda); Tommy Anthony (Christine
Smith) and step great grandchildren Macie Anthony & Paitlyn
Anthony; & several nieces & nephews.
I would like to thank the nurses & staff at
Orchardview Long Term Care Home for the care mom received while she
was a resident. I would also like to thank Jackie Hiscock for the many
evenings she sat & brought treats to mom while in the
hospital.
There will be no visitation and a service will be held at a
later date. In lieu of flowers, for those who wish, donations
may be made to the MS Society or a charity of
donor’s choice.
