MARJORIE ANNIE (CLINGO) BURGESS

BURGESS, MARJORIE ANNIE (CLINGO) With great sadness we announce that our mother, Marjorie Annie (Clingo) Burgess, of 500-110 Venus Court, Fredericton, passed away at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital on Friday March 7th, 2008. Marjorie was predeceased in 1991 by Charles, her husband of over 50 years. She was also predeceased by her parents, John and Maude Clingo; her brother, Derek Clingo; and two sisters, Eileen Ebbett, and Kathleen Gaunce. She is survived by three sons and their families, John (Janet) and Paul (Marlene) of Fredericton, and Keith (Sheree) of Smithfield. She will be sadly missed by her grandchildren, Nancy, Brian, Carl, Kirsten, Karen, and Whitney; by her great-grandchildren, Avery, Alicia, Brandon, Christopher, and Phillip, and by many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by one sister, Joan Moore of Fredericton; and one brother, Keith Clingo of Quispamsis. Born in England in 1913, Marjorie immigrated to Canada with her family in 1921 and lived in Upper Hampstead near Gagetown. She was a registered nurse by profession, having studied in Saint John, and graduated from the nursing program at the former Chipman Memorial Hospital in St Stephen NB in 1937. Marjorie and Charles resided in Milltown NB with their three sons until they moved to Fredericton (Silverwood) in 1958. Following Charles' death, Marjorie moved to her Venus Court condominium, where she enjoyed the friendship of many wonderful close neighbors. Marjorie was a member of the Christ Church Parish Church. For many years as a nurse, she cared for others, first in St Stephen and then in Fredericton. After retiring from nursing, her caring for others took many forms including visiting and helping those in need, providing knitting for the Church and the Salvation Army, and sharing her celebrated rolls and pies with many who enjoyed them. Barkley especially enjoyed her affectionate greetings and the special doggie treats which she always had for him. Her sons feel truly blessed to have had her as a vital part of their lives for so many great years. We treasure the knowledge that her family meant so very much to her. It was Mom's wish to have no visitation, and she requested only a simple service. She wanted us to remember her in our hearts. Memorial donations may be made to the Chalmers Hospital Foundation, or a charity of the donor's choice. Arrangements are being provided by Bishop's Funeral Home, 540 Woodstock Road Fredericton. A funeral service will be scheduled at a later date, and her ashes will be interred beside her late husband Charles, in the St John's Anglican Church Cemetery in Gagetown.
