Marjorie Olga Wales (née Derewlany) passed away peacefully at University Hospital, London, Ontario, on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, in her 78th year.
Beloved wife of Dick Wales for 57 years. Loving mother of Jennifer Wales (Kevin Oickle) and Deborah Wales (Jonas Jasinskas) and G-Ma of Katie, Nathan, Olivia, Ali and Ryan. Predeceased by her parents, Dan and Olga, and her brother Orest.
Marge was born, raised, and married in Leamington, Ontario, and began a wonderful 57-year journey, raising two daughters, the lights of her life. Marge graduated from the University of Western Ontario and Althouse College and later became a Master Gardener, growing gardens that were the envy of the neighbourhood. She enjoyed travel, especially her trips to Ukraine, where she connected with family.
Our heartfelt thanks to the Cardiac Care and Palliative Care staff at University Hospital for their compassionate care.
A celebration of life for family and friends will be held at a later date. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Marge are asked to consider M.S. Canada or the charity of your choice.
