Black, Marjorie Eleanor (Thompson) passed away peacefully on January 31, 2019 at the Wellington Terrace in her 95th year.
Marj is predeceased by her beloved husband, Cune, and brother Jim Rayburn.
She is survived by her children, of whom, she was very proud. Her son Lynn (Coon) Black (Betty) of Fergus, her daughter Cheryl Black (Shelagh MacKinnon) of Victoria, BC and her daughter Beth Williams (Dave Marshall) of Katepwa Lake, Sk, her five grandchildren, Gwen Paluch (Christopher) of Elora, Kevin Black of Oshawa, Kurtis Williams (Lynn) of Gunton, MB, Kristopher Williams (Dani) of Lacombe, AB and Heather Dowling (Zack) of Elora and 10 great grandchildren, Abby, Ty, Maisey, Isabelle, Kieffer, Mason, Abel, Aiden, Caleb, and Ollie. She is also survived by her sister Jackie Woolcott of Etobicoke and many nieces and nephews and friends.
Family was the centre of Marj’s life and yet she always found time and energy to support community groups to which she belonged: Ladies Auxiliary of Legion Branch #229 Elora, the Canadian Foresters Association, Melville United Church and Melville U.C.W.
Marj will be missed but her influence will continue to be felt in the hearts and in the actions of those who loved her.

Giddy Funeral Home, 280 St. David St. South, Fergus. A Funeral Service will be held on Tuesday, February 5, 2019 at 1:00pm at the funeral home. Interment in McKee Cemetery at a later date.
