Born August 05, 1929, Cranbrook BC
Died July 11, 2022, Kamloops, BC
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Marjie Ruth Holdsworth (nee Kay) of Kamloops, BC on July 11, 2022. She was the loving wife of Eric for 66 years who predeceased her in 2017. Marjie is fondly remembered by her daughters, Barb (Ern) and Janice (Barry), and was predeceased by her adored son Jason in 1994.
She was Nana to Shannon, Brett, Steven and Devan and was predeceased by grandsons Damon and Dylan. She was blessed with six great grandchildren, Abby, Justin, Hannah, Joshua, Olivia and Mylah.
Marjie cherished her time with Eric at Wild Rose Bay in the lovely log house they built together for their retirement. They welcomed family and friends often to share and enjoy their wonderful haven.
In Marjie’s lifetime, she was a school secretary, an avid reader mostly of history, an artist and she played the piano beautifully. She was a woman full of grace and poise. There was nothing Marjie liked better than family, good company, and a cigarette paired with a glass of her homemade red wine with her best friend Teddy the cat, by her side.
Those we love don’t go away
They walk beside us everyday
Unseen, unheard, but always near
so loved, so missed, so very dear
In loving memory
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC.

Amazing Grace
Scripture Verse
Proverbs 31: 25-29 (the living bible) –
She is a woman of strength and dignity, and has no fear of old age.
When she speaks, her words are wise and kindness is the rule for everything she says.
She watches carefully all that goes on throughout her household and is never lazy.
Her children stand and bless her; so does her husband.
He praises her with these words.
“There are many fine women in the world, but you are the best of them all!”

AMAZING GRACE
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost,
but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
T’was Grace that brought us safe thus far
And Grace will lead us home
And Grace will lead us home.
Amazing Grace, how Sweet the sound
That save a wretch like
I once was lots but now am found
Was blind but now I see
SPIRIT OF LIFE
Spirit of Life, come unto me.
Sing in my heart all the stirrings of
compassion.
Blow in the wind, Rise in the sea:
Move in the hand, giving life the shape of
justice
Roots hold me close; Wings set me free:
Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.
IMAGINE
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today, I
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I’ a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world, you
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one.
