CRONE: Marjorie (Leis) of St. Marys and formerly of RR4 Denfield

December 2, 2020 By Haskett Funeral Homes 14 Condolences

CRONE: Marjorie (Leis) of St. Marys and formerly of RR4 Denfield

Passed away peacefully at Kingsway Lodge, St. Marys on Wednesday, December 2, 2020 at the age of 88. Beloved wife of the late Maurice Crone for 51 years (2019). Loved by her family and special friends Dianne Dawson, and Heather and Greg Moffatt. Marjorie enjoyed her partnership on the farm with Maurice, who was always “my man”. In her quiet way, she was proud of her pilot husband who seemed capable of accomplishing anything, and was always there to help a friend in need.  When there was time, she could be found filling the days with her quilting, weaving mats, baking, gardening and canning, her beloved kitties, and her social time as a long-time member of the Prospect Hill Woman’s Institute.

A graveside service will be held at the St. James Cemetery, Clandeboye on Friday, December 4, 2020 at 11 AM. Due to Provincial COVID-19 restrictions, each person must RSVP for the service at the cemetery. Please click “register now ”  below to register. Stream the service live by visiting www.facebook.com/haskettfh. Haskett Funeral Home, LUCAN entrusted with arrangements. 

As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to Poole Mennonite Church or a charity of your choice.

    Our sincere condolences to the Crone & Leis Families. It was our pleasure to be friends and neighbours of Marjorie and Maurice on Concession 14 of London Twp., many years ago. The relationship with them enriched our lives.
    We were sad when Maurice left this life, and now ince again to hear that Marjorie has gone as well.

    Heather & Dianne,

    We are so sorry to hear of Marjories passing, and will always remember her lovingly as a kind, quiet soul who was always so great to talk to. I’m sure it’s very comforting to know she’s back with the love of her life now. Sending you all love and hugs as you navigate this journey. She was incredibly blessed to have you both.

    So sorry to hear of Marjorie’s passing. She was always so easy to visit, and talk to by phone during COVID, while at Kingsway. One could not wish for better neighbours than Maurice and Marjorie. George and I spent many hours at their table talking of foods and farming, all the neighbourhood news. Marj and I shared stories of canning, knitting and quilting. The fall Milverton supper was always a highlight they organized the neighbourhood to attend. After George’s passing–they were so helpful and generous–pulling out my stuck lawn mower, helping with heavy work, offering advice and silent understanding with a cup of green tea! And the car…..!!!!. Due to COVID I will not be able to attend, but they, together again, will always be in my heart. Sincere condolences to her family and special friends.

    My deepest condolences to Marjorie’s family, and to her special friends Heather and Diane whom I know loved her dearly. Cherish your memories of Marjorie. Keep them close to your heart and you will carry her with you always. There is another bright star in the sky tonight, right beside Maurice’s, whom she loved dearly.
