MARJORIE MAY (REYNOLDS) RICE

Marjorie May (Reynolds) Rice of Brandon, Manitoba passed away September 5, 2025 at the age of 87. Marjorie was born March 23, 1938 and grew up in Rapid City, Manitoba on the farm with her family. Following her elementary years of schooling the family moved to Brandon, MB. Marjorie attended St. Michael’s Academy during her high school years.

Marjorie’s first employment was at MTS as a telephone operator. Soon after Marjorie met Lorne Rice, the love of her life. The two were married in 1958 and they raised their four children in Brandon. Marjorie also worked at Brandon Mental Health as a telephone operator for a number of years before retiring. When her husband retired, they both enjoyed many years living at their year-round cabin at Oak Lake Beach, MB.

Marjorie spent many years with her husband and children at Rivers, Manitoba enjoying their summers at the beach, on a seasonal lot. Later they built the family cabin at Oak Lake Beach in 1974. There were many family gatherings and fond memories held at the Oak Lake cabin.

Marjorie enjoyed many hours teaching her children and grandchildren how to fish whether on the ice or boat. She always had fisher persons luck handed down from her father. In fact she had several master angler awards. Marjorie was an outdoorsy person and liked a window open all year round. She was a prairie woman at heart from berry picking to gathering wild flowers, golden rod and pussy willows to name a few. Marjorie loved being barefoot and enjoyed beach time with her grandchildren. Ice cream, chocolate, and a good cup of tea were a few of her favorite things. Marjorie was a fabulous cook and was well known for her homemade soups, goofy buns and her chewy chocolaty puff wheat cake. Everyone in the family enjoyed mom’s cooking.

Marjorie is survived by her children, Wayne (Diane), Garth (Gail), Sandra (Mark, mom’s favorite son-in-law), Murray (LeeAnn). Several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her husband Lorne, Parents, Alfred and Agnes. Brothers, Bob and Brian. Sister, Lillian

There will be a private family graveside service.

The family would like to thank the staff at Fairview care home (2nd floor) for their kind care of our mom.
