Marjorie Jane Armitage

It is with deep sorrow but also profound gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Marjorie Jane Armitage, who departed this world peacefully on April 22, 2026, at the age of 94, at Twin Oaks Hospital. Born on March 16, 1932, in the charming town of Liverpool, Nova Scotia, Marjorie was the beloved daughter of Bessy and Tom Rideout. Her life was a testament to kindness, resilience, and an enduring love for her family and community. Marjorie's early years in Liverpool were filled with laughter and adventure, setting the stage for a life enriched by her many interests and passions. She was an ardent lover of baseball, often reminiscing about the games she would watch and play with friends and family. Her enthusiasm for curling was equally notable, with many winter afternoons spent on the ice, perfecting her technique and enjoying the camaraderie of fellow curlers. Marjorie also cherished her quiet moments, often spent listening to her favorite radio station, letting the melodies and voices transport her to cherished memories and dreams. A devoted wife, Marjorie was predeceased by her beloved husband, Albert, whose partnership in life brought her immense joy and strength. Together, they nurtured a family rooted in love, respect, and a commitment to one another. She was also predeceased by her dear son, Stephen, whose memory she carried with her in her heart, speaking of him often with love and pride. Marjorie's legacy is her family, which she considered her greatest achievement and joy. She was the cherished matriarch to her 11 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren, each of whom she adored and who brought her endless happiness. Her home was a haven of warmth and her kitchen, a place where stories were shared, and laughter echoed through the halls. Family and friends will remember Marjorie as a beacon of love and kindness, a woman who possessed an unwavering spirit and a generous heart. Her community involvement, whether through local events or simply being a supportive neighbor, left an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to know her. As we bid farewell to Marjorie, we take comfort in knowing that she is reunited with Albert and Stephen, watching over us with the same love and care she bestowed upon us in life. Her legacy of love, kindness, and resilience will live on in the hearts of her family and friends. A celebration of Marjorie's life will be held on a date to be announced, where stories will be shared, and her remarkable life honored. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to a charity of choice in Marjorie's name, continuing her legacy of compassion and generosity. Marjorie Jane Armitage will be forever missed but never forgotten, as her spirit lives on in the hearts of all who loved her.
