Eulogy by great-grandson Callum-Vittali-Smith (Marj was born on 4 February 1914 at 100 Saint Saviours Road, Croydon, South London. Her parents were Edward, an engineer, and Daisy Farrington. She vividly remembered the end of WWI, when Armistice Day parties meant all the men in her street dancing on the tops of the cars. Marj was one of thirteen children in a Methodist family. She had three sisters, Ivy, Eva and Kathleen, who all died young. Her brother Douglas and twin brother Louis died in infancy. Over the years her brothers have all died, Bernard, then Ronald, then Ted, then William, then George, then Fred, then Arthur. It truly is the end of a generation and the end of an era. In Saint Saviours Church in Croydon, just down the road from her home, Marj married William Walter (Bill) Skeet on 12 January 1935. During WWII Marj worked in a munitions factory in London. The factory held their compulsory air raids and no-one ever got out in time, but things didn’t change. She cycled to work every day without knowing if she’d live or die that day. Bill worked as a panel-beater and Marj as an accounts clerk and they lived in Carshalton before settling down in their home “Ruskin”, Boxhill in Tadworth, Surrey. Here they created many happy memories with best friends Colin and Joan Mott, who has donated to the Cancer Foundation in Marj’s memory. Before the Smiths moved to Australia, Bill and Marj enjoyed many outings and camping trips with best friends Bert and Jessie Smith. Marj was godmother to their daughter Jenny and they kept in touch through letters and phone calls despite the miles apart. In 1970 Marj was devastated by Bill’s early death to cancer. Six years later she received a letter from Bert inviting her to Australia. Jessie had died and now Marj and Bert were both alone – not for long. On 12 November 1977 they married in Sylvania Waters, at Bert’s son Pat’s house. Pat also served as best man. First living in Miami, Queensland and then Hobart, Tasmania, they finally settled in Bomaderry. Marj threw herself into the local community, staying fit with aqua aerobics and making many friends at various clubs, especially the Bomaderry Bowling Club, where the reception today will be held. After fourteen years together, Marj lost the love of her life, who she always called ‘Herb’, in 1992. Since then she spend a lot of time enjoying her favourite activities, bingo, find-a-words, reading, knitting, going out or visits from friends and family. When Marj turned 100 she was proud to receive congratulations from the Queen, Governor-General, Prime Minister and local MP. She remained feisty, stubborn and independent until the very end, and always lived in her own home, which was very important to her. Her independence was the cause of great amazement and much anxiety for her friends and family! By the very end Marj had lived for over a century and had never lost her spirit or lucidity. She felt her time had come and passed away peacefully in her sleep. Nothing more could be asked for. Marj is buried today according to all her wishes. She’s next to the love of her life, her beloved Herb. Together with her in her white coffin is a bingo book, find-a-word puzzle to keep her occupied, and a torch just in case she wakes up. She made us promise! Marj’s family wish to express their thanks and appreciation to Marj’s army of special friends who ensured she enjoyed a meaningful, enjoyable life right up to the end. Best friends Debbie and her mum Margaret, Meroo neighbours Alec and Pam, and personal postman Max – thank you.) |

Eulogy by close friend Debbie Stewart (From Debbie, Margaret and family Even though Marge was a dear and close friend to our family for about 15-20 years there were a lot of things we did not know about her. If you wanted to know about her life she would tell you she had a hard life and let you know a few things then change the subject. Marge was still a very private person. There are a lot of memorable memories of our times with Marge, from family functions to quiet cuppas. I would like to mention just a few. Marge would say oh bugger off or sod it, (nearly always in a nice way) if she wanted to end a discussion or she disagreed with something. When we took Marge shopping she would always want to go to Miller’s and the excitement was like a child in a lolly shop. Nearly always something was bought, but some things were never worn. The day Marge found out she was going to our daughter’s wedding in the November, guess where she wanted to go to buy her outfit, yes Miller’s and it was only January. Marge bought her outfit next time we were shopping. Marge loved Bingo and the Friday Night Raffles. At the raffles we would have a weekly drink then dinner. The night of one of the major raffles came around and the excitement from Marge was great to see when I handed Marge her winning ticket that won her the huge TV. She did not know what to say as she had never won anything like that before. As Marge had her knees operated on and was getting less mobile she had a walker that she did not want to use, she would say I have my stick. As most people know Marge was a stubborn old bugger and said walkers were only for old people, even though she was getting on towards 100 years old. When Marge turned 100 it was just another day for her she did not want anything organised. Her highlight of turning 100 was the letters received from the Queen and a number of the Parliamentarians. The letters that stood out to her the most were the two handwritten letters, one from Prime Minister Tony Abbott and the other from her local State Member Gareth Ward. Marge now that you have righted the world in your life, you will always be in our hearts and memories. Rest In Peace.) |
