Marion was a loving mother, a friend to many, a hard working and generous soul who served many meals to friends and family.  Her home was always open to everyone  She loved music and a good time. She was in her glee when some of the crowd turned up with guitars for a sing song, especially her brother Cyril.  You are my sunshine was her favorite song and she could sing it up until recently.

As an expression of sympathy donations to the Janeway Children’s Hospital or a charity of ones choice would be appreciated.
Visitation will be at Holloways Funeral Home, Whitbourne on Saturday,  June 25  from 7-9 pm (Family) and Sunday June 26 from 10:00 am -5:00 pm for Family and Friends.

Remember me with smiles not tears for all the joy throughout the years, don’t dwell on thoughts that cause us pain, we will see each other again.  I am at peace try to believe, it was my time I had to leave. But what a view I have from here, I see your face and feel you near. Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.
