Marjorie Elizabeth Pommen (née Rudolf) January 13, 1957 – May 11, 2025 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Marjorie Elizabeth Pommen, who passed away peacefully in Vegreville, Alberta on Sunday, May 11, 2025, at the age of 68 years. A Celebration of Marjorie’s Life and Memorial will be held on Sunday, July 13, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Taber Legion Park. Family and friends are warmly invited to attend and share their memories. Marjorie is survived by her devoted husband, Allen Pommen; her children, Bradley (Amy) Pommen of Nelson, BC, and their daughters, Abigail and Stella; Kimberley (Tyson) Christiansen of Shaughnessy, Alberta, and their children, Thomas and Jessica. She is also lovingly remembered by her siblings: Anna (Richard) Ferguson, Chester (Jeanne) Rudolf, Richard Rudolf, Sue (Keith) Shirakawa, and Larry (Tracy) Rudolf; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family. She was predeceased by her parents, Elizabeth and Chester Rudolf Sr. Marjorie was born on January 13, 1957, in Taber, Alberta, and raised on the family farm alongside her five siblings. She grew up attending the Catholic Church in Taber, where she developed a deep sense of compassion, community, and faith that would guide her throughout her life. She enjoyed going for walks, camping, bingo, blackjack, and reading. Her favorite movie was Pretty Woman, and her favorite flowers were carnations—simple, classic, and quietly beautiful, just like her. Despite a long battle with multiple sclerosis (MS), Marjorie remained a true fighter. While the illness impacted her life progressively over time, she continued to maintain a high quality of life, offering friendship and care to others who also lived with MS. Her perseverance, warmth, and sense of friendship left a lasting impression on everyone she met. If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Marjorie’s name may be made to the “Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada” at https://mssociety.ca, in recognition of her generous and compassionate spirit.
