Marie Beckstead

Marie was born in Brockville but lived in old Morrisburg before
the Seaway. Her Mom was from England, and in the British Air
Force, when she met Marie’s Dad who was in the Canadian Army.
They married and came to Canada after the war. Marie’s Dad was
a carpenter. Marie attended Iroquois High School and Osnabruck
District High School. Marie started her working career at Odonto in
Morrisburg making toothbrushes. She married and had three sons,
James, David, and Jeffery. She changed jobs and worked, for thirty-

five years, at Beaver Dental Products manufacturing dental burrs.
Marie is a woodworker, like her Dad. She has donated love benches $2,795
to the seniors’ centres in Ingleside and Williamsburg, made jewellery
boxes, lawn furniture, bird houses, and refurbished her kitchen using installed*
reclaimed wood. Marie also volunteers as a driver for the Senior
Support Centre in Ingleside.
Starting in high school Marie enjoyed sports. She played basketball
first, then started curling with friends from work, and bowled in Ingleside. Then co-worker, Dawna, got Marie interested

in golf at Cedar Glen in Williamsburg. She met golfer, Ann Cook, at the course. Ann introduced Marie to OSGA. Marie

played in her first District 8 Golf Tournament in Alexandria where she won a gold medal. This qualified her to play in

the Provincial Games in London where she won a silver medal. Next she competed in the 2010 Canada Games where

she won a bronze medal. Very impressive for her first try. Marie made a wooden shadow box to proudly display her

Marie was enjoying her OSGA sports experience so she decided to join the District 8 Board. She is presently the
treasurer and convenor for snooker and billiards. In the past Marie has enjoyed competing in both summer and winter

events by playing euchre, bid euchre, cribbage, and bocce. She plays floor shuffleboard and carpet bowling on a weekly
basis and also competes in these OSGA events.
Marie believes in getting full value for her annual membership of $15. She participates in as many sports as she likes Medigas
in both the summer and winter events – for the one membership fee. Quite a bargain! A quote from Marie, “Being a 2900 Marleau Ave., Cornwall
member of the Ontario Senior Games Association has allowed me to meet a lot of very nice people, both locally and 613-936-0125
all over the province and even Canada. I ask you to become a member to join in the fun. Continue being active or
become active again for the fun of it.” To learn more about OSGA please follow us on Facebook at OSGA 55+District www.medigas.com
