SHERK, Marjorie Elizabeth (nee Climenhage) - Peacefully, with her family at her side and in the loving presence of the Lord, Marjorie reunites with her beloved husband Ben on August 4, 2022, at her home, The Meadows of Dorchester, in her 99th year. Precious mother of Susan (George) Kirkham, Cynthia (Joe) Mastrandrea and Mary Jane (Mike) Chicoski. Cherished Grandma of Laura (Dave), Lisa (Kyle) and Alex (Anne) Kirkham; John (Amber), Michael (Jennifer) and Paul (Nicole) Mastrandrea; Bradley Chicoski and Michelle (Jarrett) Reaume. Cherished Great-grandma of Amelia, Matteo and Joey Mastrandrea, Dominic and Benjamin Mastrandrea; Drusilla, Silas and Isaac Reaume. Survived by sisters-in-law Mavis Climenhage, Alice Sherk and Heather Sherk. Marjorie is predeceased by sons, Ronald, Daniel, Gerald and Thomas; brothers, Paul (Ruth) Climenhage and Ray Climenhage; sisters Evelyn (Hugh) Murphy and Ruth (James) Gilmore. Marjorie will be fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, extended family, friends and dear neighbours Jeni and Nick Buzdygan. Marjorie kept very busy providing healthy home-cooked meals, tending her flower beds, baking, canning, knitting, crocheting and various crafts. As a seamstress, she taught her daughters how to sew. She enjoyed reading devotions from ‘Our Daily Bread’ and listening to upbeat music and hymns. Marjorie was a member of the Black Creek Women’s Institute and Southminster United Church where many long-lasting friendships were formed. She loved family photos and was content spending time with her family and friends. Watching her great-grandchildren play was a delight.
A memorial service will be held at the MORSE & SON FUNERAL HOME, 5917 Main Street on Wednesday, August 10, 2022 at 11:30a.m. Interment will follow at Bertie Brethren in Christ Cemetery. As a way to remember Marjorie, random acts of kindness in the expression of pay-it-forward would be appreciated.
