Marjorie Render (13 May 1936 - 5 Jul 2022)

Marjorie

When “Marjorie” was used to address her she would say “that’s my Sunday name”, so we had to use “Madge”, her sister Eileen as “Our Ile” and finally “Gordie”.

I can remember that this was a cause of amusement. When chatting with “Madge” there was always a hint of amusement in her voice.

She had the ability to befriend strangers - the perfect landlady.

With Eileen living in York and Madge in Pocklington, we all met up on a Thursday each month to dine out at a variety of local pubs and put the world to rights. Eileens’ slow eating featured in the conversations, to her consternation.

After we lost Eileen, Madge and I had phone conversations, beginning at 7.15 and covering many topics, long or short, on each Sunday evening. These are much missed. Our weekly conversations covered memories of Rowntrees Girls train from Selby, her jaunts into Pocklington town on Tuesdays for food, and her hair do (of which she was rightly proud). Songs of Praise on Sundays to approve, or not, which she would sing along to quietly when on her own, and much more.

Madge took great pleasure from being told how young she looked for her age, - she was always very smartly turned out.

At the end of our calls we expressed our thanks to each other for how we had enjoyed the contact.

Madge always spoke gratefully and warmfully appreciative of all the love and care which Angie showed for her, along with Paul and John.

“Madge”

God bless Madge

Aunty Madge was a dear Aunt and such a lovely lady. We loved her to bits.
I remember childhood holidays at their home and in recent years she enjoyed holidays at our home in Spain.
Madge was always good company. She showed an interest in others and was fun to be with. I remember her playing ball with the Spanish children here when she was 80!
She lived life to the full and was loved and respected by all who were fortunate to know her.
Condolences to her sons Paul and John and to her brother Gordon.
God Bless Aunty Madge.

My hubby Malc and I have many great memories years ago in the Butcher Arms Pub, Millgate. We at that time around 1960-64 lived down Simpsons Yard at the back of the pub.
Our condolences to you and your family. Remember The Happy Times always. 🤗🤗

Only got to know you over the last few years.
But my hart goes out to you the words that are in my head is that you did it your way. RIP beautiful lady. Xxx
