Jack, Kevin, Tracy, Sean and family We are so sorry to hear that Marian has passed. I lived with all of you when I was at Northern College and the connection with all of you has remained throughout the years. I will miss my annual visit to catch up with Marian as she gave me all the updates and will definitely miss all the laughter we shared about life. Please do take care and I will continue the yearly tradition with Jack & Sean when I get to KL. Our sincere sympathies during this very difficult time. – Paul & Karen St. Cyr

I am so sorry to hear of Marian’s passing and my sincere condolences to Jack and family. Many years ago I had the privilege of being invited to join a Rummoli group consisting of Marian, Shirley, Marilyn, Polly, and Geraldine. Once a week we would meet up for an evening of great fun. I have such wonderful memories of those times. Her fondness for life made her a joy to be around.

So sorry for your loss. I was so deeply saddened to hear of her passing. she was always so full of fun and laughter when she came into Bling Elite to shop. I always loved to see her came in, knowing we would have a few laughs. She was a star model for our fashion show three years ago. She will be greatly missed. Condolences Jack and family.

Cindy Stewart, March 1, 2021

So sorry for your loss. Marian was a wonderful person and she will be missed.

Cori Clement and Brian Stratford, March 1, 2021

I met Marian briefly a couple weeks ago and she was a really lovely woman. I am so sorry for the sadness right now, as it must seem like a bright light has been taken from the family. Sean..I had no idea she was your mum..that she had passed on or why we kept running into each other, and it seems unfair that as we celebrate a birth in our family, there is sorrow in yours. Please accept condolences and know we will light a candle for her tonight.

A light has gone out of the world with Marion’s death. For each thorn,there’s a rosebud, For each twilight-a dawn, For each trial-the strength to carry on, For each storm cloud-a rainbow, For each shadow-the sun, For each parting-sweet memories when sorrow is done. Ralph Waldo Emerson Aunt Belle .

Sending sincere condolences to the family. Marian was a treasure. Thank you for sharing her with us in Manzanillo. We shared stories, checked out each other’s shopping deals, admired her shoes, dresses , and jewelry. She was a classy lady. Many an hour was spent around the pool with her as we caught up on the day’s morning walks and adventures. She was one of a kind. She lovingly cared for Jack all the time. Treasure your memories. I know we will! Rest in peace and rise in glory, Marian.

Bonnie MacDiarmid, March 1, 2021

Our hearts are heavy with the passing of our friend, Marian and extend our sympathy to Jack, Kevin Tracy, Sean and all the family. We have many special memories of our times spent in Mexico: lazing by and floating in the pool, dining out (coconut shrimp or tacos), shopping (Des would ask her if she really needed another pair of shoes). I truly enjoyed surprising her with baked treats at Santa Barbara. She loved her sweets!! She was our bright light in the X-Ray Dept and I’m sure we all have a “Marian Moment” stored in our memory from those years. R.I.P, Marian. You will dazzle all the other angels in heaven with your stunning wardrobe and fancy jewels. And dance once again in a different pair of shoes every day. Love, Doreen and Des
