Marj was employed for most of her career at Sask Power where she worked her way up from a secretarial role to being the Administrative Manager for the coal division – an accomplishment she was always very proud of. Along with husband Lou, she held a season ticket and attended Rider games for almost 50 years. Marj had many close friends, a group of which she played Par 3 golf with for many years at the Lakeview Par 3 golf course. Marj and Lou were confirmed snowbirds spending over 25 winters in Palm Desert, California as well as trips to Bermuda, Jamaica, Cuba and Mexico.
