July 6, 1933 - November 2, 2024
Celebration of life ~
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Aunt Marjorie (Marge) Joyce Needles, at the age of 91 years.
Aunt Marge was born July 6, 1933, in Pouce Coupe, BC and passed November 2, 2024, at Chartwell Crescent Gardens, Surrey BC, where she resided since 2020.
After homesteading in the Peace River country with her parents (Edith and Herbert Needles) and three sisters (Dixie, Roxie, and Gerry), she moved to Penticton and then Calgary where she worked as a telephone operator, while volunteering with the Royal Canadian Navy Reserves. Most of her working life was as a Bank Manager with CIBC at numerous locations across the Yukon and BC. Throughout her life she also travelled extensively for leisure.
Marge was a very spiritual person and belonged to Sunnyside United Church for many years. She loved to sing with the White Rock Kent Street Choristers and hike with the Surrey Naturalists. She also loved to play bridge and have coffee with friends.
Marge was an active and always supportive member of her immediate and extended family.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Peninsula United Church (2756 127 Street, Surrey, BC), Saturday Nov. 30, 2024, from 10 to 11 am. Coffee and tea service to follow.
Aunt Marge will be dearly missed by her many friends and family as well as her nieces, nephews, and their families.
In honor of Marge's memory, and in lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations made to the Alzheimer's Society of Canada.
