A thoughtful community person, Marina volunteered at several places, including Shepherd’s Lunch Room and the Salvation Army. She was a former member of the Ukelele Group and the Christian Fellowship Church Choir. Above all Marina loved spending time with her family. Whether it be sitting around her table to enjoy a game of Uno or crib or just chatting with them over a cup of tea. Her main priority was her family, making sure they all felt loved and that is one job she did perfectly.
