As published in the February 10, 2014 World-Spectator
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Marjorie Joyce Herle (Marshall) of Regina. She began her life on a farm in Fairlight, Saskatchewan.
She is predeceased by her parents, Edith and Guy Marshall of Moosomin; her husband Wendelin Alex Herle of Regina; her siblings George Marshall of Fairlight, Kathleen Frayling of Saskatoon, Raymond Marshall of Moosomin, Evelyn Wise of Calgary and Wesley Marshall of Moosomin; and brothers-in-law Arthur Frayling of Saskatoon, William Adair of Maryfield and Joseph Wood of Saskatoon.
She is survived by her adoring children Anita (Simon Schaffer) of Cambridge, England, Louise (Lesley Bullard) of Roberts Creek, B.C., Michael of Vancouver, Marsha of Toronto, and granddaughter Eva Joyce Herle Schaffer of Cambridge, England. She is also survived by her sisters Elizabeth Adair of Maryfield, Myrtle Wood of Saskatoon; sisters and brothers-in-law, Evelyn Marshall of Moosomin, Jean Marshall of Moosomin, Jack Wise of Calgary, Rosella Mastel (John) of Medicine Hat, Lena Gutfriend (Tom) of Medicine Hat; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Our mother and father were married 58 years. They were inseparable. They shared a love for education, travel and family. She cared for Wendelin until his unexpected death on October 1, 2013.
Our mother paused her career in education to raise four children, then studied at the University of Regina and went back to teaching elementary school. She was passionate about her work and amazed that she got paid for doing something she so loved.
Truly one of a kind, our mother was inventive, creative and unconventional. Full of energy, she always had a project. She designed and built a two storey playhouse with lookout, as well as a basketball hoop and sturdy play table. She was innovative, curious and had a vivid imagination. We are very blessed to have had her as a mother. She taught us so much about art and nature. Her humor was understated, sublime and at times outrageous. We travelled, gardened, laughed and cried with her. She is irreplaceable in our lives and our hearts. She was the strongest woman we have ever met and it seemed she would outlast all of us.
We carry your heart with us (we carry it in our hearts).
A Gathering to honor her unique character and spirit was held at 3 p.m. Sunday, February 9 in the Blue Lounge at the Radisson Plaza Hotel Saskatchewan Regina, 2125 Victoria Avenue.
