On the 10th of January 2024, a gentle soul found solace and serenity as Marjorie Winnifred Martin, née Tyler, bid farewell to the world peacefully within the walls of a hospital. Late of Brookmount Nursing Home and formerly residing at 29 Aughalargue Road, Stewartstown, Co. Tyrone, Marjorie’s departure marked the end of a life filled with love, warmth, and a profound impact on those fortunate enough to be touched by her presence.
Marjorie, affectionately known as Winnifred, was the dearly loved wife of the late Tom Martin, a loving mother to her sons Colin and Kyle, and a cherished mother-in-law to Marina and Jacqueline. Her role extended to being a devoted granny to Amy, Jack, and Louise, creating a tapestry of family bonds that formed the very heart of her existence. Born into the Tyler family, Marjorie was a sister to Jennifer, Jack, Les, Malcolm, and Eileen. However, life’s journey also included the heartache of saying goodbye to her siblings Leslie, Sylvia, Victor, and Raymond, who preceded her in death. Their memories lingered in the recesses of her heart, becoming a part of the rich mosaic that made up the narrative of her life.
Marjorie’s life was a testament to the enduring power of love, family, and community. As a resident of Stewartstown, she contributed to the vibrant fabric of the community, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her. The warmth of her smile, the kindness in her actions, and the wisdom in her words created a lasting legacy that transcends the boundaries of time. Her final days were spent at Brookmount Nursing Home, where she found comfort and care, surrounded by compassionate souls who recognized the beauty of her spirit. The peace that enveloped her in those moments reflected the serenity of a life well-lived, filled with love, laughter, and the embrace of cherished relationships.
The funeral service, a poignant moment of remembrance and celebration, is scheduled to take place in 2nd Dunboe Presbyterian Church on Saturday at 11.00 am. This sacred gathering will be an opportunity for family, friends, and acquaintances to come together, offering solace to one another as they bid farewell to a remarkable woman. The interment will follow at the First Stewartstown Presbyterian Burying Ground, a final resting place that symbolizes the eternal peace awaiting Marjorie. The Martin family extends a warm invitation to all who wish to pay their respects, providing an opportunity to share memories and find solace in each other’s company. The family residence at 281 Windyhill Road, Coleraine, BT51 4LP, will be open to receive friends and loved ones during this time of reflection.
In honor of Marjorie’s life and legacy, the family kindly requests no flowers, recognizing that her spirit would be best celebrated through acts of kindness, compassion, and love extended to one another. The memory of Marjorie Winnifred Martin will live on in the hearts and minds of those who had the privilege of sharing in the tapestry of her life. As we gather to bid farewell, let us remember Marjorie not with tears of sorrow, but with smiles of gratitude for the joy she brought into our lives.
In celebrating her life, we find solace in the knowledge that her spirit will forever resonate in the laughter of her grandchildren, the love shared between family members, and the countless lives touched by her presence. May she find eternal peace in the embrace of her beloved Tom, as her legacy continues to shine brightly in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
