Our dear Aunty Marj looked after my sister and I at a vulnerable time of our lives, and I have happy memories of her vibrant personality, elegant clothes, leopard print pant suits and smart hats. Never will be forgotten. X Love, Robyn

My deepest sympathy on the passing of Aunty Marj.
Fond memories of our family get togethers when we were young children.
Marj was always so fashionable and glamorous.
Audrey enjoyed her hand me downs.
Marj always held a special place in Audrey's heart.❤

Mum and I spent a lot of time with Aunty Marj. Her distinctive fashion style of hats, berets, leopard skin pants and fur jackets that always turned heads; shopping on Chapel St; walking through Myers with all the staff greeting her with “Good morning Mrs Young”, “Good morning Mrs Young” as we passed each counter; hand me downs; perfect posture; ball room dancing; dazzling smile; sailing; sports cars and Rolls Royces; drive-in movies; cleaning tips and holidays at The Chevron, Gold Coast are a few of the many impressions Aunty Marj has imprinted on my memory. I will never forget her.

I have fond memories of my sister, Marj, having spent a lot of time together when our children were small particularly in Brisbane where Marj, Tony and Cheryl came to live with us for a number of months. In our 30s Marj and I shared many holidays together including around Europe where Marj was happy to turn up at the airport without even knowing where she was about to go! Her positive, sunny disposition was uplifting to all around her and I will always remember our good times.

Dear Tony, my thoughts and prayers are with you in this sad time. I have very fond memories at Black Rock, use to love coming to your house, you would take me over to the beach and we would climb the rocks trying to find caves. I remember going on the yacht with Ron & Marjorie.
Wish I could be there for you, unfortunately I will be away for work.
