In loving memory of Marguerite Morgan, who sadly passed away on 22nd April 2020. Marguerite lived with her mum and dad, Dorothy and Len, and two brothers, the older one Ray and the younger brother was the late Len.
The three were evacuated and enjoyed the countryside and making new friends before returning home. Marguerite was 14, the same year that she left school to work in a flour mill factory. She went on to become a supervisor/charge hand at ICI, where she stayed until she retired.
Marguerite met her husband-to-be Don at a dance, and they continued to dance together until he died. Their favourite dance was a slow foxtrot, hence her brother and sister-in-law's, Ray and Joan, choice of music for her funeral - I'll See You in my Dreams, sung by Doris Day and Let's Face the Music and Dance (Nat King Cole).
Marguerite and Don married, at Birmingham Registry Office, in 1963 and they had a very happy life together. Her brother Len lived with them for a while and Marguerite visited him regularly when he went into a care home. She called Len her baby.
As well as dancing, Marguerite loved socialising, going to church, gardening and caring for Billy, the long-living tortoise. She and Don both loved animals, hence the family's chosen charity for any donations is the RSPCA.
When Marguerite was first ill, and tired of battling, even she loved her brother Ray, the family, the friends she had made and life, she said she just wanted to be with Don and Len. Now she is.

To a cherished sister and sister-in-law.
Marge, we had so much fun as we grew up and came through so much together. And then we each met the love of our lives - you your Don and me my lovely Joan - which is wonderful. Joan and I are so sorry you have left us. There is never enough time to spend together, but you are always in our thoughts.
Love Ray and Joan.

These are lovely tributes for a lovely lady. It will be a privilege to conduct the graveside service on Friday afternoon at Witton Cemetery. I will always remember visiting her last hear with Norma when she was in the hospital. We praise God that she is now in the loving arms of God and the trials and tribulations of this life are over.

I met Marjorie Two years ago. And she brought so much joy into my life. She had a great sense of humour, and she honestly never complained during her months of hospital care. She had loved her husband Don whom she met at a dance. She had looked after her baby Brother Len with her never ending love and care. Marjorie has left me with happy memories and I miss her. Now rest my little friend. Love Jenny and Jim ...xxx
