Mrs. Marjorie Laube passed away peacefully on May 3, 2016 at her home on the farm as per her prayer request. Her final prayer was answered. Marjorie Violet Laube (nee Jenkins) was born on March 5, 1924 at the home of her grandparents, Charles and Sarah Merriman in Springside, SK, the second oldest daughter of Florence (nee Merriman) and John Henry Jenkins. Both of her parents immigrated from England. Marjorie received her education and grew up in the Clear Creek area. Marjorie worked in housekeeping for Mrs. Barnes in Yorkton, then worked in Regina and in Trail, BC prior to the war. Marjorie met Herb Laube at a Saturday night town event in Springside. They started courting in the summer of 1942. In November of 1942 Herb Laube got his call to go into the Army, so most of Herb and Marjorie's romance was courtesy of the Royal Canadian Mail. Herb referred to Marjorie as his Princess. They met on a Saturday, were engaged on a Saturday and were married on a Saturday, October 14, 1944 in the United Church in Springside, SK. That day was the first day of the rest of their life. Upon Herb's discharge from the army, they established their home on the Gus Laube farm until the spring of 1953, when they built a new home on a quarter section, one mile east of Springside. Marjorie lived and worked on the farm for 63 years. For Marjorie, family was her priority, her children and family came first. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting, embroidery and knitting. It was her mission to make sure that every child and grandchild has a crocheted tablecloth, a drawer full of doilies to add to each of their homes and beautiful afghans for each one. Marjorie loved to cook and bake. There was always doughnuts, cinnamon buns, chocolate chip cookies, carrot cake, lemon pie and angel food for all to enjoy. But everyone in the family has collectively agreed the infamous Opera Roll takes first place in all of Mom's creations. Being a farmer's wife Marjorie's added chores were milking cows, hauling grain, delivering meals to the fields, planting a huge garden, raising many chickens, mowing and bagging acres of grass each year. Marjorie had a 63 year war on dandelions and sow thistles. They always seemed to grace her property, but not for long. Marjorie and Herb Laube had four children, Vallerie, Wayne, Lovadie and Lyndon, 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
