Mitchell, Marjorie Gladys

Dec 22, 1915 - Nov 14, 2004

鈥淕lady鈥� passed away peacefully at St. Joseph鈥檚 Hospital on November 14th, 2004. She was predeceased by her husband Ronald in March 1995. She will be lovingly remembered and missed by her daughter Dr. Stephanie Mitchell of Edmonton, Alberta and two sons Ronald Howard and David Leslie Mitchell of Comox and Calgary, Alberta respectively. She was a 鈥淔orces鈥� homemaker, raising a family through Ron鈥檚 assignments at Centralia, camp Borden, Ottawa, No. 1 Fighter Wing - Marville, France and Comox between 1948 and 1980.

鈥淕lady鈥� was well-loved in her community. She was a member of the Comox Golf Club for more than 40 years, playing actively right up to her 87th year. Being unable to play golf during the past 12 months was heartbreak for her. She was active in bridge and bowling, and she made many friends in the Comox Valley, who will all remember her dearly. She loved to make up golf lyrics for songs and would do so for 鈥淟adies Closing Day鈥� at the Golf Club. Her sense of humor and her love for life resulted in a philosophy that carried her right to the end: 鈥淵ou keep moving or you seize up鈥�.

鈥淏ring her home, Lord;

she鈥檚 ready now.鈥�
