Death of Church Member – Marjorie Crow

m-crowCROW, Marjorie Kathleen (nee Dobrindt) – (June 19, 1919 – April 17, 2016 ) – At Albright Manor, Beamsville, Ontario, Marge left her earthly home in her 97th year, surrounded by the immeasurable love of her family. Predeceased in 2009 by Sidney, her beloved husband of 70 years, whom she never stopped missing. Deeply and forever loved by her only daughter and son-in-law Beverly and Richard Morrison of Grimsby. Mom adored her two granddaughters, Erin Morrison of Burlington and Lindsay Kuzmich (Pat) of Grimsby. They have precious memories of many happy times. Marge’s two great-grandsons, Henry and Thomas Kuzmich were a special gift who brought their “Gigi” many smiles and chuckles in her last years. Predeceased by her parents, Caroline (Carrie) and Fred Dobrindt of Welland and her younger sister, Joyce Townson (Sept. 19, 2015) of Waterloo. She is survived by her eldest sister, Grace Mueller of Brantford. Mom grew up in Welland and lived there most of her life, until later years when she and dad moved to the Orchards in Vineland. After his passing she resided at Lincoln Park in Grimsby and then Albright Manor in Beamsville. Marge was warmly received wherever she lived. She was a Charter member of St. Matthews Lutheran Church in Welland. Her church, family and lifelong friends (of which there were many) were her foundation and greatest joy. Mom was the consummate homemaker and hostess-always cheerful and with a smile on her face although she silently suffered painful minimal vision for years. She will be deeply missed by everyone she touched. The family wishes to thank her special, devoted caregiver, Seke Vandeheide and the many frontline staff at Albright Manor who so lovingly attended her, especially Shelley in her last days. A memorial service will be held at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church (corner of Griffith and Kent Street), Welland on Friday, April 22nd at 12:30 p.m. Family will receive visitors one hour prior to service. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Marjorie may be made to St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church with cards available at the H.L. CUDNEY FUNERAL HOME , 241 West Main Street, Welland who are in care of the funeral arrangements. Online condolences available at www.cudneyfuneralhome.com13048716
