Marjorie Ellen Munroe (Clark), born May 6, 1953, in Providence, Rhode Island, passed away on January 24, 2026, at Life Care Center of Nashoba Valley after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
Margie grew up in Warwick, Rhode Island and was a longtime resident of Coventry, Rhode Island. Margie graduated from Pilgrim High School and the Community College of Rhode Island. She held several roles throughout her career, including positions at Citizens Bank, as a teacher’s aide at Father John V. Doyle School, and with the Town of Coventry Housing Authority. While she took pride in her work, Margie considered her greatest accomplishment to be her family.
Margie married Brian Munroe in 1974. Together they built a life centered on family, commitment, and shared values. She was deeply devoted to her children and was actively involved in her children’s activities, especially their sports and dance. She and Brian were married for 51 years, and Brian remained by her side and cared for her with love and devotion throughout her long illness.
Margie enjoyed life’s simple pleasures, including time at Tiogue Lake, camping trips to Umbagog Lake in New Hampshire and Bar Harbor, Maine, walking on the beach, hiking, gardening, watching the Patriots and Red Sox, and spending time with the family dogs. She took any opportunity to spend time with her four grandchildren and adored every moment with them. They will miss her immensely and will treasure the memories they created with her.
Margie is survived by her husband of 51 years, Brian Munroe; her children, Kristine E. Oldenburg (Todd) of Dunstable, Massachusetts, and Michael B. Munroe (Mandy) of Groton, Massachusetts; her grandchildren, Elizabeth and Jack Oldenburg, and Brady and Grace Munroe; her brother, Robert Clark (Edie); and her brother-in-law, Robert Shock. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and her aunt, Agnes Yehle. She was predeceased by her parents, Earl and Elizabeth Clark, and her sister, Nancy Shock.
