MARCELINE DORGE
Date of Passing: Mar 19, 2013
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryMARCELINE DORGE It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear sweet mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Marceline Dorge, at Seven Oaks Hospital on March 19, 2013. She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Louise (Garry) Watson, son Michel Dorge, grandchildren Cheryl (Marcel), Christopher, Aja-Louise and Thelonious, and great-grandchildren Bailey, Ashleigh, Hawksley and Juliet. Also left to cherish her memory are her sister Alice (Albert), her brothers Roger (Edith) and Oliver (Shirley), and her brothers-in-law Andre, Albert (Therese), Leon, and sisters-in-law Flore, Yvonne, and Alma. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 49 years, Arthur, her sisters Florence, Gisele, Doralice, Gilberte, Marie, and her brothers Alfred and Lucien. Mom was born in St. Labre, MB, on March 5, 1931. Having 10 siblings gave rise to many wonderful and comical stories of family life on a farm. Mom later attended St. Joseph's Academy in Winnipeg, and made many new friends in the big city. She married the love of her life, Arthur Dorge, in 1952, and started a family shortly after. Mom worked as a waitress at the St. Boniface Hotel and Ed's Lunch part-time until she decided to devote all of her time to her growing family. Mom had a wonderful passion and talent for drawing and painting. She was also a champion bowler, bringing home trophies for high average, high single, and best team in the league, all in one season. No one could cook a more tender, mouth watering beef or pork roast. She took in some boarders for a few years, and they would all attest to the fact that she was a fantastic cook. Mom loved to laugh and make others laugh - her sense of humour was infectious, and she loved to play jokes on people. She always loved music, and enjoyed dancing, whether across the kitchen or at a dance hall. Before Dad passed away, they enjoyed going for frequent trips to Las Vegas, or just going for long drives in the countryside, stopping for coffee along the way. In later years she enjoyed being a member of the Red River Seniors group, as well as the community camaraderie at the St. Vital Shopping Centre. Family gatherings were always special for her - she was proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and loved to watch them grow and mature. I will always cherish our regular visits, shopping, talking, taking in the Brandon Winter Fair, going for ice cream, and just spending some quality time together. Mom's health deteriorated quickly over the last few years, losing mobility and independence. She fought so many medical battles, and won them all, until she could fight no more. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of her life will be held at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, March 25, 2013, at the Holy Family Church, 778 Archibald Avenue, Winnipeg. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice. Seasons Funeral Chapel - OakBank

Aunty Marcy-you will be missed greatly, you had a warm loving spirit and I always enjoyed spending time together at Grandma's. Your laughter was always heard as we all sat around the table visiting, playing cards or some other game. And to her family - there is nothing I can say to take away the grief you feel right now, just know that I am here for hugs either in spirit or in person. Take care and I am real sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Michelle Formaniuk (great-niece) on: Mar 25, 2013

Aunty Marcy, You always exhibited "La Joie to Vivre" in everything you did, even with a full body cast. You played with my children for hours with not a care in the world. You teased me many times but with love in your heart and you made me feel like your daughter. As we partake on our own journeys of life, we tend to leave behind some of the things that were very important when we were younger. Now as I reflect on the way you have touched my life, I keep in my heart every little thing you have done that made my life a better place. I love you and will miss you very much. Your Loving Niece - Posted by: Esther Harder (Dorge) (Niece) on: Mar 24, 2013

Our Aunty Marcy passed away this week. She was an angel and also my hero. There were times growing up when things were hard and you didn't feel like laughing or very important to anyone, my angel/hero looked at me like she knew exactly how I felt and would give me one of her big hugs and say she loved me and do silly things to make me laugh. It didn't matter how she felt or how much pain she was in, she always made sure to let you know you were important. Even at her 80th birthday party, it was so nice to see she hadn't changed from day to day, year to year. Saw her often through the years and we could still make her laugh and let her know how much we loved her. She was the best. Anybody that knew Aunt Marcy knows what I mean. I will miss her so much but she will always be my angel and my hero. I love you Aunty Marcy. - Posted by: Mona Wonnacott () on: Mar 23, 2013

In every memory I have of Auntie Marcy she is laughing. Whenever she and her sisters got together it was always loud, crazy and fun to watch. - Posted by: Cheryl Beaumont (Niece) on: Mar 23, 2013

She was a remarkable person. I remember when I was younger I was playing outside with my sister. We were playing a game called chinese rope. Aunt Marcy showed up her arms were filled with bags of grocery and her arm was in a cast. Well that didn't stop her she started to jump the ropes herself. It didn't matter how much it hurt her she was determined to play this game with her nieces. The bags of groceries contained treats for us kids. She loved to joke with us make funny faces and tell funny stories. She will be greatly missed by many. I love you Aunty and thanks for everything that you did for me while I was growing up. - Posted by: Cecile (Daigneault) Desjarlais (I am her niece.) on: Mar 23, 2013
