From an early age, she developed a deep interest in God and became a regular member of her local church. As a young woman, she shared her faith by helping to teach children at the local Sunday School about Jesus.In 1956, Marjorie married Thomas Angell, and together they built a loving home. Their first daughter, Debra, was born in 1958, followed by Kim in 1960 and Tracey in 1964. Marjorie dedicated herself to her family, creating a warm and caring home where her children were deeply loved.As life went on, her children grew up and started families of their own, blessing Marjorie with four grandchildren whom she adored just as dearly as her own children.In the early 1980s, a chance meeting with a lady named Isabelle led Marjorie to visit the Brahma Kumaris Centre on Beeches Road in West Bromwich, run by Manuben. That visit marked a turning point in her spiritual journey — from then on, she became Baba’s child again.Through Raja Yoga and the Brahma Kumaris family, Marjorie met many wonderful people and immersed herself in the love, peace, and spiritual understanding it brought into her life. Over the years, she visited Madhuban as well as retreats in Oxford and London. She held a special affection for all the Dadis and would eagerly look forward to programmes where they were present.I remember attending many of these events with her — one that stands out was seeing Dadi Janki on stage at the Albert Hall, such a tiny lady radiating immense Godly power. Marjorie had a particular love for Dadi Janki and Sister Jayanti (who was a young woman at that time), as well as for dear Manu behn, with whom she was connected from around 1984 until the West Bromwich Centre closed.Marjorie cherished the Centre deeply and missed it greatly when it closed. She formed lasting friendships with Sister Margaret, Sister Paula, Sister Pat, Sister Shanti behn, Sister Gurdev, Sister Devkie, and many more.There is no doubt that finding Baba enriched her life beyond measure. Even in her later years, when anxiety about travelling — especially by car or on the motorway — made things more difficult, her devotion to Baba never wavered. She remained steadfast in her faith until she left the body.Marjorie will be deeply missed by so many. She was a loving and caring person who always saw the best in others.For me personally, no words can express how much I will miss my mother. Yet I take comfort in knowing that our souls will meet again — somewhere, sometime.Reflections from her BK Birmingham and West Bromwich FamilyWhen Sister Marj first came to the centre, I asked her name, and she replied, “Marj Angel.” Right then, I told her that she has to become an angel — and indeed, she truly was one, a real angel. I feel deeply honoured to have known such a special and unique sister. My heartfelt best wishes for her onward journey, with lots of love to her and the family — Sister ManuSister Marj was an original jewel of West Bromwich Centre. Angel by name, angelic by nature, so quiet and gentle, she created no fuss or conflict, only sweet kind words for everyone. Marge also loved the fun of being part of this BK family, especially significant events and gatherings. On many occasions her creativity contributed to decorating the&nbsp;centre or making props and costumes for our in-house performances. Before this technical age, she contributed hundreds of delightful hand-written blessings that were beautiful works of art. In recent years her age and health issues were challenges but she remained dedicated to Baba, Murli and shrimat. Her valuable presence in this family made a difference – Sr PaulaMarjorie was reflective, sweet, calm and accepting. She had a warm and pleasant smile and a good wish for all. She was at ease with herself and each situation. She had love for Baba and the family – Br BrianInformation about the funeralMarjorie’s funeral will be held on 11 November at 4.00pm. It will be a private ceremony, and the BK family is invited to join in meditation at that time.We send our good wishes to this special soul for her onward journey with Baba.With love,In Baba’s yaad,BK Birmingham and West Bromwich Family

It was created to offer a counterbalance to the International Day of Yoga, on June 21st, which is primarily about hatha yoga. This year, World Meditation Day falls on the third Sunday in December. We are encouraging all centers to organize special events that day to make it culturally appealing and spiritually rejuvenating to all. Since the UN is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, we suggest using its theme of “Building Our Futures Together”.The BK UN office is looking forward to receiving news about the events you hosted. Write us at info@un.brahmakumaris.orgUsing the theme for UN@80 - Building our futures together - we encourage you to organize events to celebrate the day making it culturally appealing and spiritually rejuvenating to all.Together, let’s embrace our potential for transformation. Each of us can play a part in creating a better world!To subscribe to receive our newsletter: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://bit.ly/bkunnews">https://bit.ly/bkunnews</a>
