Sayler, Marjorie Alida
May 22, 1922 – October 8, 2015

After a life well lived, Marjorie Sayler passed away at the Strathmore hospital on Thursday, October 8, 2015 at the age of 93. She was born on May 22, 1922 at New Norway, Alberta. She maintained exceptionally good health up to her final days without the need of medication. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her and quietly remembered by her family every day. Marjorie Alida — what a beautiful name, what a beautiful person. Those who knew her best will always remember her sweetness and gentleness. She had such a peace in life. When given adversity, she focused on the positive. Marjorie loved her family and friends; she enjoyed gardening, cooking, baking, sewing, knitting, crocheting and reading. Her hands told the story of how hard she worked. Her character was an amazing story of love, wit, wisdom, strength and courage. She loved to share stories of her childhood and youth. She had a strong faith in God and He gave her the strength and direction for each day. She was a devoted wife and mother. Marjorie was the last survivor of 10 siblings. She was predeceased by her husband Walter in September 2000 and is survived by her five children: Glen (Irene) Sayler, Don (Jill) Sayler, Joan (Kenton) Ziegler, Gordon Sayler and Darrell (Carol) Sayler, as well as six grandchildren and six great grandchildren. The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful staff at the Wheatland Lodge for providing such excellent, loving care during the past six years for Marjorie. Also, thank you to the medical staff at the Strathmore Hospital who attended to Mom. Everyone was exceptionally caring and compassionate towards her. A private internment service was held with the family at Rockyview Garden of Peace on Friday, October 9, 2015. In respect for Mom’s quiet nature of never wanting to attract attention, there will not be a memorial service. To send condolences, please visit Marjorie’s obituary at www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca
