    Notes:

    Died:
    FORD, Marjorie J. - 1918 - 2012. Marjorie Jessie Ford (née Ma­clean) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on February 23, 1918, a daughter of Major Dr. Walter L. Maclean, C.A.M.C. (d. 1917) and Lillie Alberta \'Allie\' Boak Ma­clean (née Umlah, d. 1994). Raised by her mother in Halifax, Vancouver, and Bermuda, Mar­jorie attended the Halifax La­dies’ College and St. Leonards School in St. Andrews, Scotland. She graduated from Dalhousie University in 1939 with a B.A. in English and Biology. While at Dalhousie, Marjorie was an en­thusiastic member of the Glee Club and a frequent contributor to the Dalhousie Gazette. Marjo­rie was first married in 1943 to Surgeon-Lieutenant Hugh M. Henderson, R.C.N.V.R. (d. 1944). She subsequently married Dr. Charles M. Jones in 1953 (d. 1968) and Dr. William L. Ford in 1970 (d.1992). An active volunteer with the YWCA, Marjorie served one term as President as well as being a long­time Sustainer in the Junior League. Over the years, she en­joyed collecting antiques, be­longed to investment, garden, and book clubs, The Antiquarian Club, and took up tai chi. Marjo­rie felt fortunate to have been able to travel widely, accompa­nying her husbands on their work to Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Iceland, the Azores, Martinique, and St. Lu­cia. Both Charlie Jones and Bill Ford were avid sailors so Marjo­rie spent much time in and around boats and boatyards. In her later life, Marjorie made many trips with Bill up and down the East Coast and farther afield to Mallorca, Greece, and the Bal­tics. A true Haligonian, Marjorie also had deep ties to Hantsport and the Annapolis Valley, where her mother lived. Here, she spent several years as a young mother and war widow and would continue returning with her family for summer vaca­tions. In 2009, due to failing health, Marjorie relocated to Pe­terborough, Ontario, to be close to family. She died in Centennial Place, Millbrook, Ontario on June 10th. Interment will be in River­bank Cemetery, Hantsport, at a later date after which there will be a private celebration of her life. In memory of Marjorie, friends are welcome to make a donation to the YWCA of Halifax.
