She was predeceased by her parents, Mathias and Caroline Anton.

Marion and Dick married in 1976, and began a lifelong companionship filled with devoted love and adventure. They enjoyed taking houses and making them into homes with their own special touches. They travelled to many countries and as they got older, snow birded down south where Keno was a favourite pastime of Marion’s. She took great pride in her home where she always welcomed all, was a fantastic cook and baker, and her green thumb produced amazing gardens.

Marion will always be remembered by her kind, giving, gentle soul and will be missed by many.

At Marion’s request, a private time of family remembrance will be held at a later date.
