Obituary for H. Marjorie Clement

H. Marjorie  Clement
Marjorie Helen Clement
July 23, 1928 - May 17, 2020

Marjorie Helen Clement (nee Howarth) passed away peacefully in her sleep during the early morning hours of May 17th, 2020. Marjorie would have been 92 on her next birthday. Marjorie has been a resident of Willoughby Manor in Niagara Falls for the last 5 years but Niagara-on-the-Lake was her home for almost all of the first 87 years of her life, 62 of those years shared with husband, Harold Clement. Harold passed away in 2009. Marjorie is survived by her three sons: Wallace (Elsie), Jack, Thomas (Wendy), and daughter-in-law Lesley Clement. Her nine grandchildren: Christopher Clement (Saye), Jeffrey Clement (Corrina), Aron Clement, Jessica Clement-Lefevre (Randal), Lara Weber (Joshua), Ellice Whitford (Curtis), Kaitlin Clement, Julian Clement, Alexandra Clement McNamara (Adam) and 12 great-grandchildren.

Marjorie worked various part-time jobs while raising her family in Niagara. Many will remember her as their NDSS school bus driver when she became the first female bus driver in Ontario. Marjorie enrolled in Niagara College the same year as her youngest son. She studied library technology, and graduated at the top of her class. She worked for the Niagara Regional Library System until its closure in 1979.

Marjorie will be remembered as a fierce competitor at the bridge table. She loved the challenge of duplicate and played contract bridge regularly well into her 80's. She enjoyed all kinds of card games and many, many evenings were spent around her and Harold’s dining room table playing cards with family and friends.

Marjorie loved her home at the corner of Nelles and Davy Street in Niagara-on-the Lake. She and Harold moved into it shortly after the war and made it their home for sixty years. Her attractive wrap-around porch was a favourite spot to sit and enjoy a cup of tea while reading the papers. She loved to visit with friends as they passed by on their way to the Commons.

Marjorie belonged to St. Marks Anglican Church in Niagara and was very involved with the parish, sharing her love of flowers as a member of the flower guild for many years. A celebration of her very long and full life will be held at St. Marks when the family is able to travel to be together.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Marjorie's memory can be made to St. Marks Church or to the charity of your choice.
