Marion was a very friendly lady that enjoyed singing. I met her through the NESA choir, the Choralaires, where she always had a welcoming smile. She was willing to give assistance to anyone that required it and I greatly appreciated all the helpful tips she shared during our practices. She will be greatly missed by the choir members. May you find some comfort in all the wonderful memories she has left behind.

To the family of Marion I would just like to express my sincere sympathy for your loss. Marion was a beautiful lady with a beautiful heart. I had the wonderful privilige of meeting Marion when she resided in Bonnyville. Marion was a very dear friend to my Mother over the years up until my Mother\’s death in 2004. Marion blessed us with the gift of her friendship which I will never forget and I was able to share those sentiments with her while she was in palliative care.She will be greatly missed but she will not be forgotten.
Praying God\’s comfort and strength at this time….

Doug and Jean Austin says
We will always remember Marion for her wonderful optimistic approach to life. When Doug left home from high school for his first job in Edmonton, Joe and Marion opened their home to him and made him feel comfortable and loved. He will always remember their kindness to him.
Later both Doug and I were so happy to have Marion visit us in Arizona. She was open to adventure, a wonderful guest and a pleasure to be around. We were sad to see her struggle with her cancer but were amazed at her spirit and acceptance of how things were.
We will always remember Marion.
