Marilyn loved spring and summer as she continued to plant numerous flowers with Kari and maintain a large garden. She was known for her awesome baking; pies, squares, cakes and her bottomless cookie jar. Marilyn had a strong interest in genealogy. She researched the family history and created a family tree dating back several hundred years. Marilyn loved to read, especially Harlequin Romance novels. She loved watching all sports and kept statistics on every World Series game dating back to 1982.

Marilyn will be dearly missed by her family and friends. A Memorial Tea will be held on Friday, October 19th, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Lounge & Court, 60 Athabasca St. East. A private burial will occur at a later date.
