Marion Isabel Newcombe
– It is with love and gratitude for a life well lived that
we announce the passing of our mom, Marion, 89, of Windsor, formerly
of Port Williams. She passed away peacefully on December 7, 2020, at
home. Born in Medford, Kings County, she was a daughter of the late
Walter and Esther (Thornton) Woolaver. Marion is survived by two
daughters, Janet (Lloyd) Anderson, Mt. Denson and Karen (John) Lewis,
Fall River; son, Kevin (Brenda) Newcombe, Falmouth; grandchildren,
Laura Anderson, Lesley Anderson (Michael Hamilton), Jenny Lewis (Aaron
Hoyles), Ian Lewis (Lexi Boudreau), Jordan Newcombe, Breagh Newcombe;
one brother, Frank (Marion) Woolaver, sisters-in-law, Alice Newcombe,
Muriel (Jim) Axell; brothers-in-law Allan Dean and Doug Brown; aunts,
Abbie Woolaver and Olive Varga; as well as many cousins nieces and
nephews. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her
husband, Donald Newcombe; with whom she shared 48 happy years, infant
twin children, Deborah and Douglas, an infant daughter, Susan; her
siblings, Phyllis, Helen, Floyd and Louise; her in-laws, Isabelle
(Ken) Parker and Robert Newcombe. Marion shared a close friendship
throughout her life with the Anderson, Lewis and McCarron families as
they became part of her extended families. Marion graduated from
Teachers College and was an elementary school teacher. She was a
lifetime member and Provincial President of the Women’s
Institute, a role she was proud and passionate about. She served on
the board of the Valley Regional Hospital. She volunteered at the Port
Williams Elementary School as part of the Special Friend Program for
many years. She was an active volunteer in the community of Port
Williams where she resided for 60 years. She was a member of Windsor
United Church. Marion was a great entertainer and welcomed her
children’s friends in her kitchen where her famous brown
bread was served daily. If shopping was an Olympic sport, Marion would
have brought home a gold medal! She supported all her
grandchildren’s activities and was fortunate to have
attended all of their high school and university graduations. We would
like to thank the friends and relatives who sent flowers, food and
well wishes. We will be forever grateful for the health care system
who provided such valuable care. A celebration of life will
be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 12, 2021 in the Windsor
United Church. Interment took place in the Willow Bank Cemetery,
