MARJORIE WILSON(nee SINGLETON)
    On Friday January 29, 2016, just weeks before her 98th birthday mom passed away peacefully.   She was predeceased by her husband Bruce and survived by her loving children. Son Terry of Victoria BC, Daughters Wendy (Ron) and Mary (Scott). Her grandchildren Rory (Erin), Matt (Janelle), Heather (Manny), Chris (Dayna) and great grandchildren Rylee, Casey, Danika, Corie-Lee, and Mia.
Mom was born in Winnipeg and after marrying Bruce they began their life in Sudbury, ON. In 1949 along with two children they moved to South Africa and Europe for two and a half years. On returning to Winnipeg they bought a home in Wildwood Park. They resided there for much of their lives where she was involved with the Wildwood Club, volunteering and caring for her family.   Mom and Dad shared the joy of travel and had the opportunity to visit numerous countries around the world. Mom’s three passions in this world were; Children (she couldn’t pass up an opportunity of greeting a child wherever she was). Writing letters (Mom wrote to everyone from Hooters to the Dalai Lama) and Curling (during curling season you never phoned her when a game was on).   She will be forever loved.
Afterglow
I’d like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done
I’d like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways
of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days
I’d like the tears of those who grieve
to dry before the sun
of happy memories
that I leave when life is done
