Obituary
Marlene Louisa Actemichuk passed away suddenly in the early morning of September 19th, 2021, at the age of 68, in Calgary, Alberta. Marlene was born on October 2nd, 1952, in Carberry, MB to John and Bessie Smart.
She was employed with Alberta Health Services as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse for over 40 years and later volunteered for Literacy for Life (a Foothills area reading program).
Marlene’s greatest possessions in life were her family, her dog (Piper), and her horses (Elmo and Moon).
She enjoyed camping with family and took part in various adventures across Canada. Two of Marlene’s favourite ways to spend her time was with her children, when they were competing in Taekwondo and Pony Club and now watching her grandchildren play and grow. She spent most of her mornings doing Aqua size, riding her horses in the mountains and in shows with friends and family. Most summer evenings you would find her on the front porch enjoying the sun with a beer in her hand. In her spare time, she would always find ways to volunteer and help others in any way she could, whether it was rounding up cattle or helping out around the farm she was there day or night. Marlene was a caring, social, selfless, and independent person that was always there for her friends and family.
Marlene is survived by her husband, Mervyn, of 44 years. They were married on Feb 25, 1977, in Calgary, AB. She will be loved and sadly missed by her daughter, Teresa (Rob) of Calgary, AB; son, Mathew (Breanna) and their three children Brooklynn, Abbey, and Harper of Airdrie, AB as well as her stepson, William and family from Okotoks, AB. Others mourning her loss include her sister, Florence (Ron), brothers, Robert (Leslie) and Lorne (Jennifer), who all reside in Manitoba, as well as her in-laws, nieces and nephews, and a host of long-time friends, and co-workers.
A special thank you is extended to the staff at both the Age Care Seton and the Movement Disorders Program at the Foothills Hospital.
In lieu of flowers a memorial donation to the Canadian Mental Health Association or Parkinson’s Society of Alberta is requested.
A celebration of life is yet to be determined.
