Marjorie Sue Forrester, 74, lovingly known as “Auntie M,” passed away on May 21st, 2025, following a brave and determined battle with cancer. Her fierce love, deep kindness and quiet strength left an indelible mark on everyone who knew her. She was born on May 18th, 1951, a daughter of the late Bruce and Fay Forrester. In addition to her parents, she was preceded by her sister, Peggy Krut and her niece, Kelly Krut. She is survived by her nieces, Christy (Krut) and Jools Bourne and Julie Krut, her great-niece, Taylor Vukich, her great-nephews, Kalob and Kyle Strohecker, her brother-in-law, Ronald Krut and her cousin and lifelong friend, Patty McDanel, whose friendship remained a constant through the years.
To her family, Auntie M wasn’t just an aunt: she was a second mother, a constant presence, and a source of unconditional support. She believed in being there for every moment that mattered: birthdays, graduations, quiet evenings, and even the daily routines of checking report cards and homework for those she tutored while undergoing treatment. She lived with an unmatched generosity of spirit and a deep commitment to those she loved.
Marjorie had a deep love for books, Maine’s rugged coastlines dotted with lighthouses, and clam chowder from Gilbert’s: especially when shared with her sister on their highly anticipated get aways. These moments brought her peace and wonder. She was also known for her devotion to her cherished dog, Daisy, her best friend and constant companion.
She also formed a special bond with Missy, a resident from McGuire Homes with Down syndrome, who became part of the family when they were both young adults. Auntie M welcomed her with open arms and an open heart. Their bond was unbreakable and rooted in mutual joy and compassion.
Friends will be received on Tuesday, May 27th from 10 A.M. until the time of a brief prayer service at 12 Noon in the GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, INC., 117 Blackhawk Road, Beaver Falls.
Interment will follow in Sylvania Hills Memorial Park, 273, PA-68, Rochester.
The family extends special thanks to the compassionate caregivers at Concordia at Villa St. Joseph and Good Samaritan Hospice for their care and kindness in her final days.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Cancer Society, or the New Brighton Library: places and causes close to Marjorie’s heart. She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and quiet strength.
