Obituary: Marjorie Catherine Pope (1926-2022)

community · July 24, 2022 · Denman Island and Comox

Marjorie Catherine Pope, known as 'The Lady in Blue,' passed away peacefully on July 24, 2022. She was a longtime resident of Denman Island and Comox, an accomplished artist, and a dedicated community volunteer. A community gathering in her memory is planned for the fall, pending public health guidelines.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
