Marjorie Eileen Noble (Cariou, Houghton) was born in Hamilton Ontario, on a beautiful October day. She was the eldest of four children, followed by Helen, Kenneth, and Leslie.
Growing up in Rural Ontario, Marjorie would often talk about the old days as if they only happened yesterday. She loved to tell the stories about life with her grandparents on the farm, and her high school days in Oshawa. Life in the RCAF during the War found her stationed in Sydney Nova Scotia and her adventures and mis-adventures were always entertaining.
Marjorie had a warm heart and a loving compassionate soul. She had a good sense of humor throughout her life. She always had a positive attitude and had an admirable way of dealing with storms that came her way.
Being a mother of eight children – at times Marjorie had difficulty juggling the demands of them all, but she never complained nor did she ever turn anyone away – be it family, friends, relatives or neighbors.
Marjorie had an inherent love of music, often singing around the house. She had a beautiful voice and her children learned many of her favorite songs still sung and treasured by her family today. Her favorite tune was Danny Boy, which she often sang at family and community gatherings.
Marjorie was never one to be intimidated, when faced with a challenge she always stood her ground. She was confident whether addressing an audience or singing her signature song before a crowd.
As her children grew and left home, Marjorie had the chance to follow her dreams and travel the world. Her first adventure took her to Australia and New Zealand. Bitten by the travel bug, Marjorie visited many places over the years, including through Europe, The British Isles, The Orient, and The Holy Land.
Marjorie always had something on the go and was actively involved in both Ruskin and Hope Community events. She had many interests and took part in Plays, fundraising for Various Causes, campaigning for the NDP, and was Secretary for several Community groups. In her senior years, she even delivered Meals on Wheels.
When Marjorie moved to Hope in her early 80’s she quickly made many friends through her involvement with The Hope Station house, The Golden agers, the Rate -payers, and the Hope United Church. She was always ready to volunteer for any occasion and enjoyed helping out taking part of the monthly dances, and fundraising dinners at the Station House. Marjorie was very proud of her Irish and Scottish roots, and loved to help with Robbie Burns Days and St Patties day Events.
Marjorie lived the last two years of her life at the Fraser Hope Lodge and was always happy to have visits from her family. She passed away peacefully in her sleep three weeks shy of her nighty-eighth birthday, surviving her siblings by several years.
Though she will be greatly missed, there is peace in knowing she is united with her family once again~
May God keep her in is loving care until we meet again.~
