Marion moved to Kamloops from Ontario in 1948 and met her husband (Albert) Ralph Covey on a blind date New Years Eve of 1948. Marion was predeceased by Ralph (2003) after 52 wonderful years together. Marion worked at the cannery, Woolworths, the Plaza Hotel and finally Sears, retiring in 1988.

Marion and Ralph found joy fishing and camping around B.C. She especially delighted in hummingbirds and loved the flowers and fruit produced in her garden.

Marion loved talking with people, setting the city council straight, and had a tremendous sense of humour. She valued honesty, integrity, hard raTork, family and love, which was amplified in the way she lived her life. lt is hard to imagine the hole she leaves ever healing, though are grateful for having her in our lives, for her counsel and love, and we will forever treasure the special times.
