Very sorry to hear that Marion had passed away. She was a fun, interesting woman w a quick wit . I always enjoyed her company at the Crow’s Nest. And a number of yrs. back she came to my Mother’s house on Christmas Eve., and we all had a fun evening . Far too young for her to pass on, she will be missed by many, but not forgotten.
I was sad to hear of Marion’s passing. I worked with Marion at ManuLife many years ago. She was my supervisor. Marion had such a great laugh. I have to give her thanks for setting me up on a blind date with a man who later became my husband. I offer my condolences to Tamara & family. I hope your memories of your mom will bring you some comfort.
Condolences to Marion’s family and friends. We lived up the road from her on Dartmouth Place and had occasional chats about gardening during the summer months. I admired her for her travels. Wishing you all fond memories.
Tamara and Children…..Please accept my sincere condolences. Marion was a pleasant person to be with; on the court, the after tennis socials, the birthday lunches, or at her home in Brigus. She was quick to smile, and always had something nice to say.
May your loving memories help you through this sad time. Carolyn Tilley

Jennifer joins me in expressing our sincere condolences to Marion’s family. Words are hopelessly inadequate but our fervent hope is that you find solace in your memories.
I met Marion at the Crow’s Nest with other friends for lunch. I really liked her right away…. She would laugh at my stupid stories … and have sooo much to contribute herself!!! Always happy and content, funny and smart as all hell… how could you not like being around her.. my only regret is not having met her sooner.
Although I didn’t know her for a long long time …. I can truthfully say I will really miss her
My condolences to Marion’s family during this difficult time. May she rest in peace.
