Obituary
Marjorie Sue Forrester, lovingly known as “Auntie M,” passed away on May 21, 2025 following a brave and determined battle with cancer. She was 74. Her fierce love, deep kindness, and quiet strength left an indelible mark on everyone who knew her.
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.
Margie 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. We take comfort in knowing they are reunited.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Bruce and Fay Forrester; her sister, Peggy Krut; and her niece, Kelly Krut.
She is survived by her nieces Christy (Krut) and Jools Bourne, and Julie Krut; great-niece Taylor Vukich; great-nephews Kalob and Kyle Strohecker; brother-in-law Ronald Krut; and her cousin and lifelong friend, Patty McDanel, whose friendship remained a constant through the years.
Magie 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 10AM until the time of a brief prayer service at 12 Noon in the GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, INC., Chippewa Twp., 117 Blackhawk Road, Beaver Falls.
Interment will follow in Sylvania Hills Memorial Park, 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.
Auntie M leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and quiet strength. She was, and will always be, the best aunt ever.

I went to school with Margie, but we were friends and her dad would drive us to school activities. And her mom Faye would help my cousin Joanie Graham. Margie was always so sweet and kind. Breaks my heart she is gone. Blessings to the family.

I worked for years with Margie at Century National Bank. She was always so easy going in any situation and a great help to everyone. One of the sweetest people I ever worked with. I offer my prayers for her and her family. I hope all can find peace in this time of sorrow.

Margie tutored my children right before covid, during covid, and after until she couldn’t. She checked report cards up until last winter, corrected assignments, and checked completeness of homework. Margie came to their band concerts, musicals, chorus concerts, and every other school related event they invited her to when she could. She became a huge part of our family. They loved having her involved in their lives. Even our Corgi knew her and sat on her tote bag at her feet as she worked with the kids each week. We are sad that she is gone, and will all miss her presence here so much. She has endured such a long battle, a battle that our family hopes that she and her family can find the peace in knowing that it is over, and peace in this time of grief.
