LARSON, Marjorie Lois (Marj) (nee RONEY)

Oct. 4, 1938 - Feb. 22, 2014

Marjorie Lois passed away peacefully at the age of 75 at Watrous Hospital on February 22, 2014.

After growing up on the Roney farm near Imperial, Marj studied at Valley View Center in Moose Jaw, where she became a Registered Psych Nurse, graduating in 1961. At a hockey game in Imperial, she met Glenn Larson, a member of the local Lions hockey club, and married him in 1962. During their journey together, they resided in many Saskatchewan communities and parks, where they raised two children.

Marj loved the outdoors, whether she was golfing, skiing, swimming, walking, camping, visiting on the deck, or especially gardening. She was happiest when socializing with family and friends, visiting at dances, shows and reunions. Her compassion, creativity, humour and thoughtfulness will be deeply missed.

Marj was predeceased by her parents, Robert and Margaret Roney; her sister, Beth Crawford; her 3 brothers, Allan, Cliff and Barry; her brother-in-law, Cliff Hanna; her niece, Caren Hanna; and her great-niece (in infancy), Amanda Van Damme. She is survived and will be missed dearly by her loving husband Glenn, their two children Darin and Dawn (Marc) Banning, and her grandson Nicolas Larson. Marj will also be lovingly remembered by her sisters Jean (Corkie) Loewen, Eileen (Ernest) Van Damme and sisters-in-law Dorothy Roney and Lois Roney, brother-in-law Glenn Crawford and numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

A Memorial Service will be held in Watrous United Church, 502 Main St., Watrous, Saskatchewan on Saturday, March 1st at 2:00 p.m. A reception will follow in the lower level of Watrous United Church, immediately following the service.
