Dedicated to Marj

POWER, Marjorie Ethel (Paton) - In memory of Marj who passed away peacefully in her sleep in her 88th year on July 8th, 2009. She had six siblings, all who are predeceased and was a wonderful sister-in-law, aunt, great-aunt and friend to many. We'll miss her saying 'hello' but it's time to say 'goodbye'. A service in Marj's memory will be held at the College Street United Church at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, July 13th, 2009. In lieu of flowers, Marj would prefer that a donation be made to her favourite place of worship, College Street United Church, 454 College Street, Toronto, Ontario, M6G 1A1.













That being said, I took my mom down to the newly renovated College Street United Church at Bathurst and College on Monday for a funeral of a dear friend that Mom has know - well - since she was born. The original church built in the late 1800's ended up in our time with Condos above it. Good Idea I think and the church which is still part of the new condo is still going strong. Marj was someone in my youth who when you met her you never forgot her. She was a Betty Grable, a Marilyn Monroe. Always, perfectly manicured, jeweled, and dressed to the nines and not only that but found great fellowship and comfort in College Street United Church. It was a wonderful send off for Marj. I personally will never forget her and her sister Olive who in the 50's up at WOODLAND beach were the most fun and different family. Their cottage was just around the corner from the SHIP AHOY and my nana and her mom would play BINGO their on Friday nights. Good memories of my past. Even though so small - You know - when someone leaves us that impacted us - even in a small way - ITS such a good thing. Lots of people today - particularly College Street United Church - are BLESSED that they knew Marj.
