This affection for pets continued into her late eighties as Marion’s house was always home to, Dogs, Birds, and Mindy, her last cat that lived to the age of twenty-one.

After living in a few communities in British Columbia and Alberta, Marion eventually settled in Lethbridge, Alberta.

When visiting Marion, everyone always felt warm and welcome in the quiet comforts of her home. Marion lived a full and complete life. Ninety-nine years of great memories, experiences, change, challenges, love and adventure. What more could one ask for.
