Marjorie Morneau

It is with great sadness that the family of Marjorie Elaine Morneau announce the peaceful passing of a feisty lady on Friday, February 26, 2021 at Rainycrest Long Term Care with her daughter by her side.

Marge was born on October 9, 1929 in Denzil, Saskatchewan to Domase and Viva Grouette. She spent her early years in Saskatchewan, moving to Fort Frances as a young teenager. It was here that she settled and was united in marriage to Emil James “Skinner” Morneau on March 2, 1957. Together they raised their two girls, Judy and Nancy and doted on their very much loved grandsons Jeremy and Brody. She worked at LaVerendrye General Hospital for 18 years. After Skinner’s passing in 2003 Marge moved to Flinder’s Apartments. She enjoyed the comradery of her neighbours, spending many evenings playing cards, board games and having pot luck suppers.

She was predeceased by her parents Domase and Viva; husband Skinner; sisters Myrtle (Al) Salmonson, Matilda Selman and Muriel (Charlie) Bell; in-laws Joseph and Alma Morneau; brothers-in-law Adelard, Alfred (Joe) and Ed Morneau and sisters-in-law Yvonne Loveland and Corrine Cross.

Marge will be greatly missed by her loving daughters Judy and husband Al Johnstone of Sioux Narrows, ON and Nancy and husband Ted Asselin of Fort Frances, ON; grandsons Jeremy and Brody Asselin as well as numerous nieces and nephews and special friend and caregiver Rhianna Flemming.

Cremation has taken place and due to COVID 19 Restrictions, a private family interment will be held.

If friends so desire in memoriam donations may be made to the Riverside Health Care Foundation, 110 Victoria Avenue, Fort Frances, ON, P9A 2B7.

The nurses were exceptional and all involved in her care were wonderful to her. Always showing their best to her. How wonderful to have such outstanding staff that continuously smiled and went out of their way to be nice to her. We’re sure there were times it wasn’t easy.
