In Loving Memory of Marjory Maunsell, born November 28, 1920 At Home – Township of Langmeade, SK., passed away October 30, 2016 at River Heights Lodge – North Battleford, SK. Marjory was born November 28, 1920, the youngest of 4 children to William and Elizabeth Boggust.  She was born at home by a midwife in their home which sat at the top of the road from the Paynton Ferry in the township of Langmeade, Saskatchewan.  When she was 3 the family moved to another homestead further along the road into a house which her father purchased and built from the Eaton’s Catalogue.  There she attended the Spenceville schoolhouse until age 16, often arriving by horse.  She had a happy childhood helping out on the farm, skating and playing hockey on the river in the winter, riding her favourite horse Pearl, attending school functions and playing baseball. At the age of 16 she moved into Battleford and attended the Collegiate Institute completing a commercial course.  Her first job was in Regina working for the Attorney General’s Dept. in the Parliament Buildings.  She did this for 2 years before joining the Air Force in 1942.  She served in the R.C.A.F. (WD) from 1942 until 1945 where she met her husband Terence (Jim) and they were married in Vancouver. After the war they moved to Ottawa and then onto Toronto.  In Toronto they raised 3 children, Richard, Julie and Janet.  She was an active mom and also worked different part time jobs and volunteered at the Anglican Church. In 1975 Jim and Marj retired and moved back to North Batteford where Marj’s family was still living.  They lived across from St. Paul’s Anglican Church.  Marj was an active member of the Chancel Guild and a life member of the Flo Adams Group in the A.C.W. at St. Paul’s. She enjoyed many years of retirement by gardening, fishing, playing cards – her favourite game being cribbage, dancing and spending time with her family and her many good friends. In 2010 Marjory moved to the high rise apartments on 99th Street where she kept active by playing cards and visiting.  She also enjoyed the wonderful view of the river valley from her suite and would often sit by the window taking it all in. In 2011 Marjory moved to River Heights Lodge.  She had spent 3 years looking after her own mother there so was quite comfortable being at home there.  She still kept active there as they have a wonderful recreation dept. focusing on keeping all the residents busy and happy.  She had many visits from her family and friends.  She looked forward to the summer as she enjoyed watching the Blue Jay’s play baseball. Marjory is survived by her three children, Richard, Julie (Steve) Adams and Janet (George Hull), also by her three grandchildren, Nicole, Sherri and Amy and her many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Terence (Jim), parents John and Elizabeth, brothers Ralph and Jack and her sister Jessie. Funeral Service was held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church with Rev. Jan Trost and Rev. Trevor Malyon officiating.  Interment of cremated remains was in the City of North Battleford Cemetery. Donations are requested to St. Paul’s Anglican Church. Arrangements were entrusted to Battlefords Funeral Service.
