Marjorie Williams (nee Shingles), 91, a beloved wife, mother & granny, passed away peacefully on October 10th 2025 in Edinburgh.  Born in Hull on 23rd March 1934, Marjorie was the oldest of three children having two brothers Alan and Eric.  Marjorie talked fondly of her childhood which was spent in the small village of North Cave, near  Hull.  She eventually went on to study at Ripon College to become a teacher. Marjorie taught initially at Holme-on-Spalding-Moor in Yorkshire and had three years teaching in Mauritius before settling in Plymouth, where she met her husband Cliff and with whom she had two children.

Marjorie was always fiercely independent, and with the help of some wonderful neighbours, she stayed in her marital home in Plympton to the age of 90.  It was only then that she decided to move into a care home in Edinburgh, to be within a mile of her daughter Susan.  Marjorie had a wide range of interests including baking, knitting, sewing, Girl Guiding and in her later years she really valued the friendship and companionship enjoyed through the Whist Club and Trefoil Guild.

Marjorie is survived by her two children Andrew and Susan, and her grandchildren, Euan, Benjamin, Elodie and Lottie, as well as the countless children that she taught and supported as a teacher and Girl Guide leader.

If desired, the family request donations in lieu of flowers to the Red Cross, for whom Marjorie volunteered in her younger years.
