Marjorie (Marge) Murray of Cut Knife, Sask., passed away Sunday January 31, 2016, at the Cut Knife Special Care Home at the age of 92. Marge was born September 22, 1923, the third child of Russell and Peggy Loveday of Freemont. She attended Flat Lake School as a child and worked several years in the Freemont Post Office before marrying Gordon Murray in 1951. Marge and Gordon raised three children, Allan, Verlie, and Marcia on their farm at Gallivan. Marge devoted her life to her husband and family. She was a good wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and neighbour. Marge enjoyed life on the farm; helping with the animals, working in her garden, and visits from grandchildren. She was an avid sports fan and followed the local teams faithfully and rarely missed a Saskatchewan Roughriders football game. Gordon and Marge retired to their home in Cut Knife in 1991. Failing health caused Marge to move to the Senior Housing in 2005 and two years ago to the Special Care Home.
