Wednesday, November 27th, 2024
With great sadness, we announce that Marjorie Anne Visniar (nee Davidson) died peacefully at her home at Livita Centennial Retirement Residence on Wednesday, November 27th, in her 86th year.
Marjorie was predeceased by her parents Thomas and Anne, her husband Peter, and her sons Glenn and Tom. She is survived by her son Larry (Cathy), grandchildren Sharyl (Kevin), Matthew, and Brennan (Jess), great-grandchildren Nina and Jackson, sisters Evelyn Wood (Ed) and Joan Davidson (Phil Waters), and brother William Davidson.
Marjorie was born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario but moved to Oshawa at a young age with her parents and called Oshawa her home for the rest of her years.
Marjorie had a love for finding treasures and was never happier than going out to yard sales looking for antiques and special pieces of china and glassware. She and her late husband Peter enjoyed many years meeting people and selling their wares at various local flea markets, including in Pickering and Courtice.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful and caring staff and lovely residents of Livita Centennial Retirement Residence, where Marjorie resided after a fire destroyed her family home in 2018.
As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to the CAMH Foundation – The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Foundation. (*CAMH are matching all donations through December 3, 2024.)
Marjorie will be cremated, and a small private memorial will be planned at a later date.

Murdock "Mike" Fitzpatrick
October 3, 1932 - November 23, 2024
After a life full of love, Murdock passed away peacefully after a lengthy illness at the age of 92.
Born in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, he was predeceased by his parents Marion and Daniel Fitzpatrick. Murdock came from a large family of brothers and sisters. He is survived by siblings Stella Stewart (predeceased husband Raymond), Alex Fitzpatrick (wife Joy), Anna Kearnes (predeceased husband Chuck), Doris Cook (husband Percy), James Fitzpatrick (wife Katy), and Mabel Bingley (husband Havelock).

Murdock moved from Nova Scotia to Ontario in the early 1950s with the love of his life, Marie (née Carrigan). They married, raised six children, and built a life together. He remained a devoted husband until Marie’s passing in 1994. Murdock was a loving father to Mary Leney (husband Bob), Lester Fitzpatrick (wife Patsy), Susan Paddison, Mike Fitzpatrick, Patricia Chassels (husband Jeff), and Debbie Fitzpatrick. He was also a proud grandfather to 11 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, who will cherish his memory.
Family vacations to his birthplace in Nova Scotia were a cherished tradition. These trips brought together his extended family, creating lasting memories. He later built a cottage in Nova Scotia, which became a beloved retreat. Summers were also spent at their trailer in Birdsall Beach Resort on Rice Lake in Ontario, adding to a lifetime of shared joy and laughter.
Murdock’s life was an example of unwavering dedication, love, and humor. His kindness and strength were a source of inspiration to all who knew him. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy lives on in the many stories and memories he leaves behind.
