Marilyn loved working with and helping children and enjoyed supporting her own through years of soccer, track, and cross country.
Marilyn believed in and talked to angels and now she is one. If you ever shared any personal struggles with her, you likely have an angel token that she gave you out of her pocket.
She will be greatly missed, but will always be with us.
As per Marilyn’s wishes, her ashes will be taken to PEI next summer. No other memorial has been arranged yet while the family reviews COVID restrictions and concerns.
