Marilyn was such a lovely person. Meeting her for the first time brought an immediate sense of warmth and caring. And she made the BEST mashed potatoes! We are so grateful that she touched our lives through family and for the wonderful memories we will always cherish. Natasha, Don, Raquel, Rob, Jim, and family, may you find strength and peace in the memories you all share, and comfort in knowing how much Marilyn was loved.

Marilyn was a woman whose presence made every moment brighter. She was vibrant, caring, easy to talk to, and she had a way of making you feel understood the second you sat down with her. She loved beauty — in music, in art, in nature. You could hear it when she played the piano, feel it when classical music filled the room, taste it in her cooking, and see it in the way she appreciated the outdoors, golfing or camping . Every August long weekend at Maggie Lake, every Roughriders–Blue Bombers game, every family gathering — she brought joy, warmth, and connection. She wasn’t just part of the glue that held this family together. She was the glue. She cared deeply, paid attention, and made every get?together feel special simply by being there. I will miss her more than words can say. But will remember her always — in the traditions she loved, the kindness she showed, and the way she taught us to care for one another. She was the heart of this family. And she always will be.
