Marjorie Anne Pierce

Marjorie Anne (Watt) Pierce, 89, of Westwood, MA, formerly of Foxboro and Walpole, entered into eternal rest on September 5, 2015.
Born on February 17, 1926, she was the loving daughter of the late Mae Marguerite (Goodwin) Watt Collins and Arthur William Watt. Marjorie was raised in Hyde Park, Massachusetts, graduating from Hyde Park High School, Class of 1943. She lived in Walpole from September 13, 1955 with her family until 1985 when she moved to Foxboro.

She was the devoted and beloved mother of Andrea Pierce and Jeffrey Pierce and cherished Nana of granddaughter Cassidy Kamer and Grandma of grandson Zachary S. Pierce.

She is survived by her loving brother William L. Watt and his wife Marie of Seaford, DE and their children Nancy Thomas, Elna Watt, Kristine Gholdston and Daniel Watt. In addition she leaves behind her dear childhood friend and cousin Barbara (Goodwin) Hill of Marion, MA and friends Therese Keck and Eleanor (Ramrath) Garner both of California, and her furry grand cat, Bella.

Marge was a member of the United Church of Christ in Walpole for over 50 years serving on various committees including the Communications Committee and Prayer Shawl group. She was an avid knitter of scarves, mittens and assorted newborn baby items for the Church's annual Holly Berry Fair's Wee Woolies room since the 1980's.

When her children were young, she volunteered in the Gift Shop at Norwood Hospital. She worked for Metropolitan Life and Walpole School Department as well as Bird Johnson Company for 20 years, retiring in 1996. After her retirement, she worked part-time for Mark, Fore and Strike at the Wrentham Outlets and volunteered at Glad Rags Consignment in Westwood.

Marge enjoyed spending quality time with her family, seeing plays and musicals at Mohegan Sun, going on cruises to Bermuda and St. Thomas, and playing bingo at Norwood Senior Center. Her passion was most of all, shopping anywhere at any time.

A Celebration of Margie's Life will be held at the United Church of Christ in Walpole, 30 Common Street, Walpole, MA on Saturday, September 26, 2015 at 12:30pm followed by a collation at Bradford Lewis Hall. Colorful attire is requested. Burial will be private. Flowers omitted.
