<div itemprop="description">Marjorie (Rowe) Anderson. <br /> <br />Whenever you&rsquo;re making a pie for company, it won&rsquo;t be your best; this was according to Marjorie (Rowe) Anderson, who took the leap February 29th, 2016. Her spirit (and her pie crust recipe) is carried on by her three daughters (and their spouses), ten grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. We learned a lot from Marjorie: how to be kind, how to host a mean tea party, and that you should probably stay in your car as you go through an automatic car wash. She taught us what it meant to be truly giving, caring and loving. She was the most wonderful mother, grandmother and aunt; and there was no mother-in-law quite as lovely as she. She was never more than a phone call away; never forgot a birthday, and would never admit she could make the best pie ever. She taught us the importance of imagination: she would make dress-up clothes for her children and grandchildren; sit through endless magic shows, plays and musical performances; and play make-believe, dolls or school for hours on end. She loved to dance, paint and draw, sew and quilt, bake and preserve &mdash; and she was so good at it all. She loved her dogs, movies and music, but above all, she loved her family. It&rsquo;s hard to put everything she taught us into words, because simply put, she was the best. We&rsquo;ll miss her so much. Marjorie is reunited with her husband Jim (the yang to her yin), and her sister and partner in crime, Mary. A celebration of her life will be held Friday, March 4th at the Mt Pleasant Visitation Centre at 2:30 pm. There will be pie, but it won&rsquo;t be our best. In Marjorie&rsquo;s memory, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society. <br /></div>
