HENRY-PIERRE, Lady Marjorie Henry-Pierre, Obituary
HENRY-PIERRE, Lady Marjorie - born in Trinidad, the West Indies, into a humble but devout Catholic family, Lady Marjorie Mary Imelda Henry-Pierre, née Gremli (13/07/1920 – 4/12/2015), was first married for 24 years to John Sydney Boos, Engineer (1916-1960), four children being born of their union, John, Nigel, Jennifer, and Anthony.
Widowed at 40 years, she remarried in 1962 to the eminent surgeon Sir Joseph Henry-Pierre, MD, FRCS, Kt (Bart).
One child, Charles, was born of this marriage. An adopted son, Richard, is now deceased.
The couple retired to the United Kingdom in 1976, where “Uncle Joe” died in 1984 after a short illness.
They had been married for 24 years.
She was the beloved grand-mother of Nicholas, Trina, Kristiann, Krysta, Damon, Kyle, Anya, Katia, Lisa, Jason, Tristan, Jessica, Nicola, Amelia, Ella, and Georgia; and great-grandmother of Inès, Liam, Sydney, Jordan, Millie, Jordan, Jobe, Chlöe, and Jacob Duhaney.
While in Maidenhead, in Berkshire, U.K., her home “St Florian” became a true hub of family activity, where she hosted her children and grand-children as they travelled or studied in Europe. She finally sold her home and retired to Whitby, Ontario, in 2000, becoming a Canadian citizen in 2005.
She was a remarkable woman in every sense of the word.
As a little girl, she was in the school plays, and took part in sports even as a mother, playing cricket, land-hockey, volleyball, ping-pong, and billiards on occasion. As a housewife, she took an active part in the activities of her Parish, and had been a most devoted wife and mother, grandmother and great-grandmother to her numerous descendants. Upon her second marriage, she hosted official dinners in her home, drawing the praises of diplomats and Governmental officials. This continued for her many friends in Canada.
Lady Marjorie expertly combined housewifely duties with a superb taste for the chic. She had showed undoubted business acumen from her early days in Trinidad, and had her own horticultural TV programme. She owned a lady’s dress shop and boutique, and managed the affairs of both her husbands.
She was known for her extreme generosity, her loyalty to her friends, her joyful personality – and her stubbornness! – and played a highly respectable game of Bridge, where she was a most appreciated partner.
A flair for marvellous cooking was often cause for envy among her many friends, especially her “pepper-jelly” savouries, financing the building of a village church for her missionary son through the sale of her pepper-jellies! Not to mention the wells dug, the houses roofed, etc.
She was a good driver to an advanced age, was interested in computers, and kept abreast of the latest world developments, having visited many countries in her long life.
She was devoted also to her assorted pets, and grieved upon their passing. She supported hospitals, associations for the sick, and wild-life protection.
Her Catholic faith was the motivation for her whole life, and she never failed to learn about recent developments in her Church, while grieving over its many troubles. She remained a staunch Catholic all her life, passing on much of her faith to her offspring.
Lady Marjorie will be sorely missed by her family and numerous friends in Trinidad, the U.K., the U.S.A., Canada, and in other parts of the world. May she rest in peace, until we meet again.
Visitations will be at the W.C. TOWN FUNERAL CHAPEL, Whitby, on 12th December, 2-4pm, and 7-9 pm.
A Funeral Mass will take place at the Catholic Church of St. John the Evangelist, Whitby, on the 14th December at.11am, followed by cremation. Her ashes will later be interred in the family plot in Trinidad.
Donations to her memory can be made to her son Fr John Boos (905 666 9485) who will then further them to her favourite charities.
