MARJORIE ANNE DOYLE

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Marjorie Anne Doyle at St. Boniface Hospital on November 15, 2024. She was 77, a loving mother and ex-wife.

Marjorie was born on June 20, 1947 and lived in St. Vital until 1974 when she and husband Martin moved to their little house on the prairie, in Birds Hill. She resided there until their separation in 1999 and eventual divorce in 2004 when she again moved back to St. Vital.

Marjorie’s passion was her husband and children. She always encouraged them in their activities, from Martin’s writing and his company to her children’s schooling, sports, and music. Martin, Margo, and Buck meant everything to her.

Left to mourn are her children, Margo (Mathew) and Buck; her siblings, Dennis, her movie buddy, her best friend and phone buddy Marion (Dale), Tom (Colleen), her computer and television buddy and movie buddy Karen (Paul); as well as precious nieces and nephews and their children; cousins as well as friends both in Guiding and Marriage Encounter; and her ex-husband Martin Gerrard.

Marjorie was predeceased by her father and mother, John and Marion; two brothers, Jim and Ron.

Marjorie believed in volunteering whether it be at her kid’s school events, church, CNIB, U of M Retirees, condo association or her life long association with Girl Guides. She became a Girl Guide member at age eight and remained one until her death. She held many positions in Guiding from unit leader to Provincial Commissioner. Marjorie truly believed that Guiding was the best organization for girls and women. She often said “The best part of Guiding is spending time with the girls and women in Guiding”. She made many friends in Girl Guides who to this day remain her friends. She especially loved the fun times with the members of the Trefoil Guild.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the 1st Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg, 603 Wellington Crescent, Winnipeg, MB R3M 0A7.

Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Marjorie’s life will be held at 7:00 pm on Friday, December 6, 2024 at 603 Wellington Crescent (1st Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg). 

Marjorie’s family kindly requests that all of her friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour her memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
