Marjory E. Robideau, resident of Grande Prairie, passed away on Wednesday, May 24, 2017, at the Grande Prairie Care Centre, at the age of 84 years.

Marj was born March 5, 1933 in Grande Prairie, and was raised in the East Kleskun District. She was educated at the East Kleskun School, then later boarded in Grande Prairie to finish her education. She was the oldest of seven children born to Edward “Ted” Coney and Roberta “Bobbie” (nee Richard).
