Obituary for Marjorie Lorraine Neilson (Wilton)
Neilson, Marjorie
On June 27, 2021, Marjorie Neilson passed away peacefully after a brief illness, at the age of 96.
Marjorie Lorraine Wilton was born and raised in Toronto. Following graduation from East York Collegiate, she became an executive assistant to a manufacturer’s agent on Bay Street.
In 1947, she married, James Gamble (Jim) Neilson, a returning war veteran. In 1951, the couple moved to Paris with their first child, Susan, where Jim took up his life career as a plant manager at Penmans Ltd. Marjorie’s second and third children, Jim Junior and Andrew, were born in Paris.
Throughout their life together, Marjorie and Jim had an active social life with many friends who enjoyed dances and other gatherings. She was a member of the Lion’s Club and a regular parishioner at St. James Church in Paris. As a tall and attractive brunette, she was readily recognized by the townspeople, and even on her travels to other centers.
