January 15, 1938 – May 8, 2016

Mrs. Marjorie Falk passed away peacefully at Ponderosa Lodge in Kamloops on Mother’s day, May 8 2016, at the age of 78.
Mom always had amazing timing and in typical fashion, she passed on mother’s day. She went peacefully with her daughter Jacki holding her hand, after a courageous battle with Cancer. We think she choose this day as Dad passed away on Father’s Day 27 years ago. You only get one chance to make the grand exit and I think she will be forever pleased to have made this day. 
Marjorie will be greatly missed by her closest girlfriends Jean Ann Brown and Doris Vandergucht and all the many other great friends she made over the years. She was predeceased by her loving husband Herman, her 2 brothers Albert and Harold Skafel, her parents Louis and Jeannette Skafel. 
She is lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her two daughters: Jeannine (Rob) Patora of Kelowna and Jacki (Grant) Andersen of Kamloops and her grandchildren Tim (Mary Mould) Andersen of Terrace BC, Amanda Andersen of Kamloops BC, Jon-Erik Schilling of Kelowna BC, Courtney (Reece Emde) Schilling of Kelowna, BC, Michael Patora of Kelowna BC and her great grandchildren Daizy Andersen, Alice Schilling, Zoey, Caius and Lennex Emde.
A Funeral service will be held on Monday May 16 at 11 am in the Schoening Funeral Chapel. Interment will follow at Hillside cemetery. A family gathering to share stories and celebrate Marjorie’s life will commence at 2 pm at the home of Grant and Jacki, 899 Ida Lane, where all friends and family are welcome.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Cancer Car Project, sponsored by the Free Masons of BC, would be greatly appreciated.
We as her family wish to thank the Kamloops Cancer Clinic, the Kelowna Cancer Clinic and the Freemason Cancer Car Project for their service between Kamloops and Kelowna. We would like to extend an enormous thank you to all the amazing staff at the Ponderosa Lodge in Kamloops for their heartwarming support and love they showed our mother during her final months and the support they gave us after her passing.
