Mrs. Marjorie Gifford (nee McKee) of Pincher Creek, AB passed away suddenly on Tuesday, September 24, 2013 at the age of 81 years. Marjorie was born in Edmonton on May 20, 1932. She also lived in Winnipeg and Lethbridge in her early years. Marjorie met Ross Kenney in Lethbridge and spent many a fun nights at the roller skating arena, where she was quite a star. She loved to ride the Harley with Ross, but he always dropped her off a block away from home, cause she wasn’t suppose to be on it. Ross and Marjorie were married in 1950 in Sweetgrass, Montana. Byron was born in 1951, James in 1954 and Beverly in 1964. Marjorie and Ross moved to the Brocket area in 1960, where Ross was the elevator operator, and Marjorie worked in the store. She drove the school bus in between everything else in Brocket for nearly 20 years, then later for the Pincher Creek School Division. Marjorie was very active in the figure skating community and was an active Gold Test Skating Judge. “Always on the go”. Marjorie & Ross resided in the Summerview area until his passing in 1985. Marjorie married Harold Gifford on May 6, 1990. They travelled to Mesa, Arizona for 19 years, and really enjoyed being snowbirds. Marjorie was always a kidder and liked to tease you a bit, any chance she could. She had an amazing sense of humor and laser sharp wit. Marjorie is survived by two sons; Byron and James Kenney, one daughter Beverly (Dale) Wood, granddaughter Misty (Chris) Nagy, Grandson Brian Kenney as well as nieces, nephews, and extended families. She was predeceased by her parents, Charles and Margaret McKee, husbands, Ross Kenney and Harold Gifford, brother, Robert McKee, and sister-in-law, Clare McKee.
