Marion Barbara (Vickery) Johnston

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful
passing of Marion Barbara (Vickery)
Johnston, 85, of River Hebert at the Cumberland
Regional Health Care Centre on September 6,

Born on June 24, 1935 in Amherst, Marion
was the daughter of the late Graydon and Lena (Hurley) Vickery of
Maccan.
Marion was a long time employee of Sifto
Salt, Nappan. In 1992, Marion and her son, Paul, travelled
to New York City where they were presented with the
Chairman’s Award from Sifto’s parent company North
American Salt Company.
Marion was always on the go and loved to
travel, enjoying trips to visit her sister, Sharon, in British
Columbia, and her almost yearly trips to visit with her sister,
Shirley, in Bermuda.
In her younger years, Marion was a CGIT
leader, a member of the UCW, and was a past president of the River
Hebert Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary.
Marion is survived by her
daughter, Karen (Gary) Brown of Brookdale, Nova
Scotia; grandchildren Tyler (Jay Gaspar) Johnston, Calgary,
Alberta; Lindsay (Greg McEachern) Johnston, Red Deer, Alberta; and
Danielle Brown, Toronto, Ontario; great-grandchildren Reese, Addisyn
and Nixon; sister Shirley (David) Vallis, Somerset, Bermuda; nieces
and nephews.
Besides her parents, Marion was
predeceased by her husband Reginald (Bud); son Paul; brother George
(Bud); sisters June Smith and Sharon
Gray.
The family would like to extend thanks
to Dr. Gradstein and her associates and to the staff of the Medical B
Unit at CRHCC for their compassionate care. Special thanks
to Clarence Clarke, for providing a safe home and enabling Marion to
continue being active and on the go, for the hospital visits, and
especially for being there at the end.
Arrangements are under the care and
guidance of the Jones
Family Funeral Centre, 70 Church Street, Amherst, NS
