ALICE MARJORIE MACHUTCHON July 16, 1926 - September 1, 2012 The world has lost a beautiful and kind soul with the passing of Alice Marjorie MacHutchon (nee Spence). Marjorie / Marj passed away peacefully at the Lion's Personal Care Centre on September 1, 2012. Mom and Grandma will be deeply missed by her four sons and daughters-in-law, David (Cathy), Murray (Karen), Grant (Heather), and Neil (Allison), her grandchildren Matthew, Caitlin, Tyler (Cathy), Jennifer, Trevor, Ember, Chris (Rhonda), Kim (Ben), and her great-grandchildren Alex, Ashlyn, Hannah, Quinn, Ryan and Hayden. Mom and Grandma was a beautiful person inside and out. She was very loving, kind, and generous to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and was always available with babysitting, hugs, cookies, and big gentle smile. The world lost a truly special person, but Mom and Grandma's legacy lives on in her family. Mom and Grandma was born in St. Boniface to Arthur and Alice (Marcil) Spence. Marjorie was the oldest child and will be lovingly remembered by her surviving siblings Marion (Bob), Don (Reggie), and Shirley (Roy). In 1951, Mom married the love of her life, William (Bill) MacHutchon, and was happily married to him until his untimely passing in June of 1976. After Bill's death, Mom raised her four boys alone and was very proud of the men that they grew into. During this time, Marjorie worked at Wareham Crowe Electrical Contractors as a bookkeeper. Mom and Grandma was a dedicated volunteer at the Guild of Victoria General Hospital and served as president for two years. She was also recognized with a lifetime Guild membership. Between working, raising four boys, and being a committed volunteer at the hospital, Mom still found time to come home and bake her famous cookies for her boys. Marjorie taught her family and modeled for them; love, compassion, fairness, graciousness, and happiness as the main measure of personal success. Later in her life, Marjorie volunteered at the Manitoba Society of Seniors, the Manitoba Theatre Centre, the Prairie Theatre Exchange, and the Winnipeg Jewish Theatre. Marjorie's family would like to extend their gratitude and appreciation to the staff at Lion's Personal Care Centre for the warm and compassionate care that she received during the last two and a half years of her life. There will be a remembrance service and celebration of Marjorie's life at Thomson In the Park Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard, on Saturday, September 8, at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers , donations may be made to the Guild of Victoria General Hospital' at 2340 Pembina Highway, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2E8.
