Marie wore many hats in her life, but her lifelong dream was to be given the white foreman’s hard hat so that she could make sure that any hint of procrastination would be dealt with. She loved working in her gardens, she loved all of the holidays, especially Christmas which she would begin preparing for in September and she loved baking…again especially at Christmas time when her freezer would be full. She loved going up north to the camp “The Ponderosa” with Leroy. Most of all she loved spending time with her family. If she had a “mother” and “grandmother” hat, she would have worn it with great pride.

Visitation for Marie will take place at the Blenheim Community Funeral Home on Wednesday June 3, 2015 from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. when a Funeral Service, conducted by Rev. Linda McFadden will take place. Cremation will follow and a family interment will take place at a later date. Friends wishing to remember Marie with a memorial donation are asked to consider the Southwestern Ontario chapter of the Canadian Liver Foundation.
