MarieMCDOUGALLIt is with great sadness that I announce the untimely death of my sister, Marie. Her passing leaves a gaping hole in the lives of her family and friends.
She passed away peacefully at her Newlyn home on 11 October 2024.
A self starter, she managed to transition from a simple admin job to lucrative IT work. And it was whilst doing this that she met her loving husband: James McDougall.
Feeling that IT lacked challenge, she attended Cambridge University and obtained a law degree and became a successful barrister, and a member of the Bar Council.
Having holidayed in Cornwall previously, she'd fallen in love with the place, and the people, and decided to settle in Newlyn to enjoy a happy retirement.
She became a valued member of the community, always willing to help and advocate for local people with legal issues, or even just offering sage advice if asked. She was also elected head of the local embroidery club by the members who valued her intelligence, prudence and ethics.
She leaves behind a loving husband, brother and parents, as well as many friends and other family members.
Funeral details are still to be arranged, and will be announced in an updated obituary.
Keep me informed of updates
Leave a tribute for Marie
