MARJORIE C. STEIN (nee MCMILLAN) Peacefully on August 22, 2007, our dear mother passed away at Riverview Health Centre with family by her side. She leaves to cherish her memory her sons, Ken (Leslie), Brian (Judy), Gordon (Denise), Harry, her daughter Debbie Hopkins, 13 grandchildren, their spouses, nine great-grandchildren and many loved family members and friends. She was predeceased by her son Eric and granddaughter Kelly Lynn. Marjorie was born in Glasgow, Scotland, on June 3, 1920. From the beginning we know that family was very important to her by the many stories she shared over the years. Childhood memories in Scotland included running through the heather, doing the Pally Glide with her cousin Connie and spending time with her dear brother George. She came to Canada as a war bride in 1946, arriving at Pier 21 and living in Winnipeg. Together Mom and Dad had six children, raising them on military bases across western Canada and settling in Winnipeg. Mom loved her children and devoted her life to them. We have fond memories of the aromas coming from her kitchen and especially enjoyed her Prize Butter Tarts and coburg cakes. She treasured her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, always greeting them with a smile and a giggle. She always had time to listen to all of our stories and adventures. Most of all she cared. We will miss her dearly. The family wishes to say a heartfelt thank-you to the staff on 4E and 2W of Riverview for the loving way they cared for our mom. They made a real home for her and we were always confident with her care. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Riverview Health Centre 2West Foundation Account or the charity of your choice. Memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. at Whyte Ridge Baptist Church, 201 Scurfield Blvd., on Tuesday, August 28, 2007. A private interment for the family will be held prior to the service. Arrangements entrusted to: Chapel Lawn Funeral Home 885-9715
