NEWELL (nee Lamothe) Marjorie
May 7th , 1934 – October 11th 2022
Visitation will take place at the: BROME-MISSISQUOI Funeral Complex 402 rue de la Rivière, Cowansvillle, Qc J2K1N3 450.266.6061 Complexebm.com Friday October 21st 2022 from 7 to 9 pm, an Eastern Star service will take place that evening at 6:30 pm, and Saturday morning the funeral home will open at 9am for visitation. A celebration of her life will take place at the funeral home Saturday October 22, 2022 at 11 am. Burial will take place at a later date at the Ruiter Settlement Cemetery in Dunkin, QC.
Passed away peacefully at Knowlton House, Knowlton, Quebec at the age of 88. With heavy hearts we say good-bye to an amazing woman; loved wife of Robert Newell (predeceased 2017), loving mother to Peggy (Ron) Ethier, Roberta (Neil) Blackie & Tom (Line) Newell. #1 grandmother to Peter (Jen) Ethier, Sarah (Mike) Whymark, Emily (Michael) Cox. Her great grandchildren, Andrew, Audrey, Sophie, Harrison & Christopher will always have fond memories of International Nanny Day (2021). Loving sister to Ruth Harvison (predeceased), Flora (Bob) Norway, Christine Wing (predeceased), Leon Lamothe Jr. (Diane) and Barbara (Dave) Oliver. Sister-in-law, Aunt, Godmother & friend to many who are also left to mourn her passing. Marjorie was a woman of many talents and, until her later years, always involved in her community. She lived most of her life in the Mansonville area (daughter of Leon & Minerva Lamothe – predeceased) but thoroughly enjoyed her years in Montreal. In her memory donations to the Ruiter Settlement Cemetery (5785 route 147, Waterville, QC J0B 3H0), or the BMP Foundation (www.bmpfoundation.ca) would be appreciated by the family. The family would like to thank all the staff at the Knowlton House for their compassion, kindness and amazing care given to Marge.
While a member of the Eastern Star, Owl’s Head Chapter, she held many positions; her proudest being, Worthy Grand Matron for the Province of Quebec. As a member of Potton Valley Quilters she crafted many beautiful quilts that will now keep us warm with her passing. Marjorie was a founding member of Riley House, active in The United Church of Canada, loved baking, crafts, flower arranging, making costumes & fancy hats for parties with a theme and in the last few years showed us her painting skills. Always happy to open her doors & serve up a feast in a heartbeat. There is no doubt she will be remembered fondly & missed by many.

Our deepest sympathies to Peggy and family, Roberta and family, and Tom and family; and the Lamothe family members. Now we nuture the memories of Marjorie's favourite hobbies, good deeds she did for her family, riends, and community organizations; and her smiles. Sending you courage at this sad time.

Our sympathies with the family. We regularly saw and spoke with Marjorie while she was at the Manoir with mom. Not only was she a close friend of our parents, but neighbours. They shared in many of the charity group and card playing. Marjorie agreed to make our parents 50th anniversary cake (I think she made the original one also) and duplicated it. She will be missed.

My mom, also a proud member of the OES, spoke to us often of Marjorie. She held her in very high esteem. Condolences to the family.

This is sad news. We remember Marjorie and Robert as close friends of my parents, Mary and Merton Bailey, and close associates through the Eastern Star. A life to celebrate.
