Marjorie F. Waugh

Marjorie F. (Rogers) of Peabody, formerly of Melrose and Revere, passed away quietly at Renaissance Gardens at Brooksby Village May 18, 2006. Wife of the late Samuel A. Waugh. Mother of Samuel A. Waugh Jr. and his wife Margaret of Hampstead, NH,Richard A. and his wife Terry of Melrose, Roger W. and his fianc?e Sandra of Revere and Harvey J. and his wife Margaret of Lynnfield.Sister of William H. Rogers of Malden.Grandmother of the late Samuel A. Waugh III and AmyL. Waugh. Also survived by 10 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren and 1 greatgreat granddaughter.

Mrs. Waugh was a former Worthy Matron of Undine Chapter No. 120 Order of the Eastern Star. Mrs. Waugh maintained an active membership for over 50 years. She was also a long- standing member of the Revere Women's Club.

A member of the Belleview Golf Club of Melrose, Mrs. Waugh participated in many golf tournaments and was a trophy winner in several. Her love for the game of golf was punctuated by her deep respect for the rules of the game and her constant efforts to perfect her play.She was easily recognized on the greens by her colorful selection of golf caps.

She had an abiding interest in the crafts, including knitting, sewing, andoil painting . Her attention to detail was the hallmark of her final product no matter what it was.

Over the span of her life, she could be considered an adventurer in new endeavors: In her earlier years, she undertook such projects as sanding and refinishing the floors of her home and papering the walls; in her later years she enjoyed the adventure of foreign travel. Postcards from all over the world, from Fiji to Sweden were a clue that she was on the road again. She was a "woman for all seasons."

Her compassion for family knew no bounds. There were periods when she cared for her mother and mother-in-law simultaneously. Her mother lived with her for over 50 years. It follows that her sons and grandchildren were always welcomed back to her home for extended stays.

A woman of conservative values and an upholder of tradition, she quietly maintained a position on issues of the day but never tried to impose her views on others. Extremely considerate of others, she will always be remembered as a lady in the truest sense of the word.
