Barnden, Marjorie Mae, nee Cliff.

Nov 23, 2022

1938 - 2022

Passed, Nov. 9, 2022, peacefully at home in Rochester, New York, surrounded by her family. Predeceased by her husband of sixty years, Ronald Barnden, formerly of Sydenham, her parents, Fred and Margaret Cliff of Inverary, and brother-in-law Raymond (Joe) Barnden who is survived by his wife Donna. Marj will be sadly missed by her children, DawnMarie (Dan) Bilbrey, Darren, and Darla (Micheil) Yells, all of Rochester, NY. Marj is the first of the Cliff Kids to go, leaving an empty void for her siblings, Alice (late Don) Douglas of Napanee, Shirley (Maurice/Moe) Wright of Ottawa, Evelyn (Ken) Harper of Verona, Norman (Arlene) of Inverary, David (Cathy) of Inverary, and Leslie (Joanne) of Godfrey. She will also be missed by many nieces, nephews and dear friends. Marj graduated in nursing from Belleville General Hospital and after moving to Rochester, worked in a nursing home until her retirement. Ron and Marj travelled many miles in their RV to Bluegrass Festivals and concerts to listen to their favourite bands, while sharing fun times camping with family and friends.

Cremation has taken place. A family memorial will be planned for a later date. To honour her life, please take time today to think of an old friend, good times, and to recall all we have to be thankful for.

May she Rest in Peace.
