Obituary of Marjorie Watson

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Marjorie Eileen Watson at Rideau Park Personal Care home on Friday, August 2, 2024 at the age of 81 years. Marjorie was born in Brandon, MB to parents Harold and Winnifred Watson on October 9, 1942. Marjorie worked at Brown's Drug Store at 9th and Rosser, later accepting a job working for the Red Cross in Calgary, AB. At age 23, she and a girlfriend decided to tour Australia for a year, where she met her life - long partner, Wayne.

Bridge was a favourite pastime of Marjorie and Wayne’s, and they made a great team. They won many bridge congresses over the years. Wayne was a Grand Master and Marjorie a Silver Life Master. Together they resided in Queensland, on Australia's Sunshine Coast for 46 years. Three years after Wayne’s passing Marjorie made the decision to return home to Brandon. It was so nice to have her here to be re-united with family and friends. She was predeceased by her sister Eldine Kirkland on July 17, 2024. She is survived by siblings David, Dale (Lorraine), Mildred (Len Wenger) and Ralph, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Cremation has taken place.   As per Marjorie’s wishes, no service will be held.
