Marjorie was a committed fan of her grandchildren’s hockey. Haweater weekend was her favourite time of year, especially when it came to building the parade float.

She loved making peanut butter balls and baking butter tarts which many community members have received. She thoroughly enjoyed listening to the local radio, where she was referred to by Big Mike as the Mayor of Little Current.
