It is with great sorrow and much love we announce the passing of Marjorie Rous, loving wife to David Rous, mother to Dawn (Eric) Dalla Lana, Dave Bourne (Shona), Joanne (Chris) Weir and Leah Rous, and stepmother to David Rous, Jim (Carleen) Rous and Lisa (Russ) Hooper. She leaves behind 11 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. Marjie was predeceased by her parents Harry & Queenie Gardler and her sister Betty Reheiser.
Marjie was born and raised in Edmonton and was a “prairie girl” through and through. Some of her fondest childhood memories were of days spent at the farm in Irma with her cousins and cherished sister Betty. She was an excellent student and went on to the U of A to become a Registered Nurse. She also worked as a medical secretary and library assistant and volunteered for several charities. She loved the outdoors and had an array of hobbies and pastimes including gardening, golfing, bridge club, investment club, arts & crafts and cheering on her beloved Oilers and Elks. Marjie loved entertaining family and friends and always had one of her delicious homemade pies in the freezer, ready to heat up should anyone drop in unexpectedly! She was a dedicated mother and homemaker and leaves behind a legacy of kindness and caring. She will be dearly missed.
A memorial service will be held at 1:30 pm on Friday, November 10th, 2023, at Grace United Church, 6215 104th NW. Edmonton.
Donations in memory of Marjie can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Alberta & NWT.
