Obituary of Marjorie Gwendolyn Ross

Marjorie Gwendolyn Ross of Saint John West, wife of the late William Edward Ross, passed away on Wednesday, July 7, 2010 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born at Saint John on November 18, 1923, she was a daughter of the late William C. H. and Muriel M. (Craft) Boyd. Marjorie was employed in the florist industry for many years, and was a member of St. George's Anglican Parish. A very compassionate person, Marjorie loved children, flowers, and animals, and enjoyed the time she spent on Campobello Island, and all the friendly people she knew there. Above all, however, was her family, whom she loved dearly, and she always looked forward to her monthly gathering with her cousins. Marjorie is survived by her children, Geraldine V. Ross, William E. B. Ross (Roberta), and Christopher F. Ross, all of Saint John; her grandchildren, Peter Ferguson (Judith), Paul Ferguson, Mark Ferguson, Rob Ross, and Heidi Ross; great grandchildren Aden, Alexander, Katie, and Andrew; sisters Meta Van Malsen of Quispamsis, and Bette Parks (John) of Saint John; a brother, George Boyd (Sherin) of Saint John; her life long friend and cousin, Mary Thomas of Rothesay; and many special nieces, nephews, and cousins. In addition to her husband and to her parents, Marjorie was predeceased by a daughter, Kathryn Sylvia Ross. Resting at Brenan's Bay View Funeral Home, 1461 Manawagonish Road, Saint John West (634-7425), with visiting on Friday from 2-4 and 7-9 PM.
