She spent the majority of her life in Winnipeg with the exception of a year in Red Deer, AB where she married Lloyd Johnson, who was serving in the R.C.A.S.C. during the Second World War.

She was a member of Grace United Church, St. Stephens-Broadway United Church, the Eatons Retirement Club and Fort Garry Chapter No. 17, Order of the Eastern Star. Marjories greatest joy was her family. She loved her times at the Johnson cottage at Manigotogan, playing cards, and enjoying spectacular sunsets. She was a great knitter and made sure all had sweaters, mitts and socks to keep them warm. She was very proud of her children and grandchildren and their accomplishments. Marjorie made many friends during her lifetime and will be greatly missed by all whom she touched. She is survived by her sons and their families, Lloyd, wife Alene and daughter Naomi of Gatineau, QC; Jack, wife Janice and sons Andrew and Matthew of Winnipeg; Douglas, wife Catherine and son Jeffrey and daughter Dawn of Winnipeg; Timothy, wife Anna and sons Eric, Scott and Brett of Edmonton, and Donald and Darren of Winnipeg.
