Marjorie was reunited with her beloved late husband John Martin on the evening of June 24, 2019.
Born in Nottingham, England the only daughter of Rose and Frederick Edge, Marjorie and her husband John came to Canada in 1957 with their two sons, Roger and Christopher and settled in St. James. Marjorie was passionate about helping others and her community serving as a Zone Captain for the Canadian Cancer Society. She was an active member of the St. James Royal Canadian Legion and a past President of the Ladies Auxiliary. Marjorie received many acknowledgements for her dedication including certificates of merit, medals of service and most recently an award by the Veterans Affairs Office for her work over the years. Marjorie loved to travel and saw many beautiful places all over the world. She spoke fondly of her trips abroad with friends and the friendships she had made over the years with the residents of the Kiwanis Village, the "Pool Ladies", Bingo friends and Ethel and John Shymko.
Marjorie was predeceased by her two sons, Roger Martin and Christopher Martin, grandson Todd Martin, great-grandson Benjamin Ashton and brother Dennis Edge. She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren, Amanda Ashton and husband Matt, Matthew Martin and wife Kate, Jeff and Sheri Norman, Stephen Norman and Jenith and family, along with her great-grandchildren, Ella, Millie and Quinn Ashton and Skylar, Reilly and Jacob Norman and her daughters-in-law, Marilyn Martin and Louise Martin.

Dear Martin family, extending my deepest sympathy & sadness on the passing of dear Marjorie. Those of us who worked on the Canadian Cancer Society's community canvass looked forward to the annual call to see if Marj was on board to volunteer. Of course she was always willing and did what she could even into her 90th year! There will never be another like her and her crisp 'Marjorie Martin here!' I will cherish her memory. A dear soul who valued her independence and endured much loss with the death of her two sons and those that predeceased her - Rest in Peace.
