Obituary
Marjorie Victoria Langley (daughter of Victor and Maggie – nee Kutcher) passed away peacefully at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre on Thursday, November 17, 2022.
Marjorie was born on a small family farm just outside of Springside on November 20, 1933. She attended the Springside School where she excelled in her studies. Following her graduation, and the passing of her mother in 1953, Marjorie stayed on the family farm to help raise her younger siblings: Gerald, Carol and Ellen. In 1955 she married Mervin (predeceased in 2005) and resided in Springside. In 1956 they started their family: Robbie (1956), Gary (1957), Blair (1958), Terrence (1960), David (1961) and Mona (1963). In 1967 they took over the family farm from Mervin’s Dad (Albert). Marjorie worked tirelessly on the farm; she raised chickens and planted a huge garden every year, as well as raising the kids. She sold eggs to many neighbours, as well as the cream from dairy cows. From the sale of the eggs and cream she helped to provide for groceries, school supplies, clothing for her family and other necessities.
In the mid 1990s Marjorie moved to Springside. She actively volunteered with the UCW, the Legion and the Senior’s Drop-In Centre. Marjorie generously donated to many charities, some of which included: Telemiracle, Salvation Army, Yorkton Health Foundation, Springside Cemetery Fund and many, many more. Marjorie was a lifetime member of the NDP, supporting the party with donations and volunteering her time.
Due to health issues, Marjorie became a resident of the Yorkton Nursing Home in 2019 and resided there until her passing.
Marjorie was predeceased by her parents, her husband Mervin, her brother Gerald, brothers-in-law Melvin and Gordon, sister-in-law Phyllis, and daughter-in-law Linda.
Marjorie is survived by sisters Carol and Ellen (Vic), sister-in-law Leona (Elwood), and children Robbie, Gary (Anne), Blair (Judy), Terrence, David (Coreen) and Mona (Keith). She also leaves to mourn her grandchildren: Billy (Nikki), Lori, Theresa (Jay), Timothy; Brock (Olivia), Ashley; Amanda (Steve), Callahan (Trinda); Chellan, Brent; Laura and Kevin; as well as numerous great grandchildren, cousins, nieces and nephews.
