Respected teacher, award winning amateur actress, and published author, died the 18th of September, 2013, in Hamilton, Ont. A native of the Southern Shore, Marion attended Littledale and Memorial University and taught for many years in Wabush, Burin, and Lab City, before moving to Nova Scotia with husband, Steve in 1984. Marion was a devoted mother and wife. She had a wicked sense of humour, loved music, art, theatre, movies, crafts, reading, writing, chatting, cooking, and “having a time.” Because of a very serious brain injury in 1990, Marion was receiving care at the Neurological Rehabilitation Institute of Ontario when she died. Husband Steve, and children, Jonathan and Gillian want to thank the NRIO team in Hamilton for their professional and loving care. Donations in her memory may be made to the Brain Injury Association of Nova Scotia.
