O’TOOLE, Marlynne “Marly” Marlynne Eleanor O’Toole (Marly) Dec 1, 1937 – Jan 26, 2026 Marly was born in Hudson Bay Junction, Saskatchewan, and lived a life defined by love, resilience, creativity, and family. She is now reunited with those who went before her, including her beloved husband Patrick O’Toole; her father, William Turner; her mother, Elsie Turner; her son, Richard Bailey; and her Grandson, Matthew Noble.
Marly leaves behind her sister Sharon Jensen(Larry); Brother, Bruce Turner; her children: Ryan O’Toole; Megan Coupland (Jim); Suzan Bailey (Randy); Stephen O’Toole (Monique); and Hailey Pedersen (Tim); many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her family was the center of her world.
An entrepreneur at heart, Marly owned and operated many small shops throughout her lifetime. She had a deep love for crafting and creating, always finding joy in working with her hands and sharing her talents with others. More than anything, she treasured time spent with her family – whether in big gatherings or quiet moments.
Marly was known for her hugs. It was nearly impossible to pass her without being pulled into a warm embrace, one that made you feel instantly loved and welcomed. That was her gift – making people feel they belonged.
She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered for her generous heart, her strength, and the love she gave so freely.
