I have quite a few neat memories of Aunt Marion. I remember when she parachuted out of a plane in Greenwood. I also remember her 1965 Mustang and that she let me drive it. She had a full life and enjoyed her family. Our condolences to the family.

Thank-you, Jim and Carmen, I sometimes think Mum loved cars as much as she must have loved pararescue! She and my son, Justin, would often drive the old highway, Perry's Cove loop, and she always smiled when he hit the gas :) Her dream car was a Karmann Gia. She never turned down an adventure. We will miss her very much

On behalf of Community Stitchers, I am sending condolences to Marian’s family. We all enjoyed having Marian with us on Thursday mornings at St. Luke’s hall. A truly remarkable lady who always had a welcoming smile and was so generous with sharing her many stitching talents with others. We will be making a donation to St. Luke’s once we resume our group in September. Debbie Bremner, coordinator Community Stitchers

Janie and Family - so sorry to hear of Aunt Marian's passing. The obituary was beautifully worded. I remember so well her picture as a para nurse that was published in the Star Weekly. And I remember visits to her wonderful home on Skipper's Hill in Chester Basin. With sincere sympathy for your loss.

So sorry to hear of Marian's passing. Always enjoyed our little chats at the Stichery Thursday morning group at St. Lukes church. Marian was always so pleasant and cheerful. I'm sure she will be extremely missed.
