Marjorie Eva Knowles Sheppard

With profound sadness our family announces the peaceful passing of our beloved Grammie, Mum, Aunt, and Great-Aunt. Born May 22, 1928, predeceased by her beloved husband Ronald Eric Sheppard and her brother Ronald Knowles. Cherished mother of Linda (Stewart) Guthrie of Burlington, and Judith Douglas of Puslinch Twsp, loving grandmother of Michelle (Jeff) Sobol of Puslinch Twsp, Heather Guthrie of Burlington, Robert Douglas of Guelph and Michael Guthrie of Burlington. She loved being a great-grandparent to Avery and Charlotte (Sobol) and hosted with Ron many family gatherings.

Marjorie passed away peacefully at St. Luke’s Place in Cambridge on Feb 6, 2022 after 93 great years.
