We Remember

BROWN, Marjorie E. “Marj” (née Day)

November 22, 1953 — August 30, 2025

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Marj, beloved wife, daughter, sister, aunt, great-aunt, and friend.

Marj was born in Penticton, BC on November 22, 1953, graduating from Pen Hi in 1972. After two years of Education Studies at the University of Victoria, Marj decided that teaching was not for her and pursued a career in business administration.

During her career, relocating with her husband Ken on 14 moves, she experienced many different job opportunities and developed lifelong friendships in Calgary, AB; Cranbrook, BC; Regina, SK; Ottawa, ON; Kelowna, BC; Toronto, ON; and back to retirement in Kelowna in 2007.

​Memorial Donations in memory of Marjorie may be sent to Diabetes Canada.

At Marj’s request there will be no formal service, A Celebration of Life, will be held on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 04, 2025, at 2:00 PM (PDT), in the FAMILY CENTRE at SPRINGFIELD FUNERAL HOME, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. If you wish to attend, please Click Here to Register.

    Oh my dear Auntie Marj, the thought of you always brings a smile to my face & joy to my heart. I am truly blessed to have you in my life & lifelong memories fill me with love and happiness. You will be missed and loved forever.

  • Randy MacDonald says:

    Ken, Joan & Family, our deepest condolences and heartfelt love are with you at this time. Marj lit up any room she walked into and we know that and many other fond memories will help brighten your days to follow.

  • Devan Wiancko says:

    Marjie was a bright light in the lives of everyone who knew her. Her vibrant energy, genuine kindness, and warm smile made people feel instantly at ease. She had a way of lifting others up, simply by being herself always positive, always present, and full of life. Her laughter was contagious, her spirit unforgettable, and her presence brought joy wherever she went. She will be deeply missed, but her memory and the love she shared will stay with us always.

  • Barb Frim says:

    I will always remember Marj with a smile on my face. She was both a friend and neighbour and a yoga student of mine. Marj had such positive vibrant energy and it was always a pleasure getting together with her. My heartfelt condolences to Ken and Joan and family.

    Ken and Joan
    We were heartbroken to learn of Marj’s passing. She may have been small in stature but her spirit was larger than life! Her smile could brighten any room and her warmth touched everyone around her. Having shared over 40 years of friendship we will cherish the countless memories and laughter!
    Marj will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
    Rest in peace dear Marj
    With love and sympathy
    Bruce and Silvia Buchan

    Hi Kenny. You have a special but very emotional weekend ahead where the people who loved Marjie (and you her sidekick)
    get together to honor and celebrate her life. To know Marjie was to love her! She was such a little spark plug, full of energy, laughter and continually spreading joy. We are so grateful that we had a chance to visit both of you in May. Yes things were different for her but the Marj we knew was still there….it was so special to hear her little laugh and see the effort she made to be engaging.
    You both deserved more time to be together but she had such an impact in the time she was here. May the memories of that wonderful little package continue to bring you smiles and comfort. We will be especially thinking of you all on Saturday. Hugs, hugs and more hugs!
    Also so happy that you had a chance to get moved and semi settled in before this happened. Such a blessing for you to have been able to be close by. Take care!

  • Erika and Cale Friess says:

    Dear Ken,
    We were so sad to hear of the passing of Marj. She was such a bright light! Full of smiles and laughter. You , Marj, Ron and Darlene have such beautiful memories together. We are thinking of you and send our deepest condolences.

  • Myrna Pantella says:

    I am heartbroken to hear of Marjie’s passing! She was a very special friend, with our friendship spanning 50 years. We shared so many good times and made so many warm memories. She will always have a special place in my heart. My deepest sympathy to you Ken, Love and hugs, Myrna
