Dougherty (Mason), Marion Jean
Marion Dougherty passed away peacefully in Dartmouth, NS on October 2, 2021 at the age of 82. Born in Ottawa, she was the 2nd oldest of 11 children.
Marion is survived by her daughter, Judy Lebans (Geoff), her grandchildren Kasey, Cody and Connor, and great-grandchildren Austin and Thomas. She is also survived by siblings Deborah, Lynda, Carol, Joan, Tannis, Hubert & Alec as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Keith and siblings William, Ron and Shirley.
Marion could adapt to any situation with a positive attitude. This was primarily a result of growing up in an air force family and then marrying an air force officer. Marion moved over 20 times throughout Ontario and the Maritimes making many lasting friendships.
Marion and Keith settled in Bathurst in the late 1970s. Marion enjoyed being active: golfing, curling, biking, walking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, baking or playing bridge. Marion also loved knitting and you knew you were in her good books if she gave you a hand knit dish cloth or wool socks. Marion’s thoughtfulness was evident through her hand written messages to family and friends on special occasions. She seldom missed a birthday.
After her husband died, Marion moved to Dartmouth in 2016 to be near her daughter and her family. Sunday dinners were a weekly highlight.
Marion’s family would like to thank the Martinique staff of Glasgow Hall for their excellent care and friendship during her stay.
Donations can be made to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Marion survived breast cancer twice.

Marion’s life will be celebrated with a private family gathering in Bathurst in 2022.
