It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we, the family, announce the peaceful passing of our dear wife, mother, nanny, sister, sister in law, aunt and friend Marie at the age of 70 of Rockdale, Cape Breton on Wednesday, March 17, 2021 at the VG, QEII Halifax surrounded by family.
Born on May 2, 1950 she was the daughter of the late Elizabeth (Roach) and Frederick Bona of L’Ardoise.
Marie is survived and missed dearly by her loving husband of 48 years, Charles Martell, Rockdale her daughters Kimberley (Darrell), Mount Uniacke, Andrea (Neal), Mount Uniacke and Shelley, Larry Uteck. Her grandchildren Nevaeh and Cohen whom she absolutely loved so much and her special little dog Benji who never left her side. Sisters Ann (Victor), Rockdale, Sandra (Angus), Rockdale, Sheila (Paul), L’Ardoise and brother Lauchie (Paula) River Bourgeois and her nieces and nephews.
Marie fought a brave battle and now Heaven has another angel. Her family was her greatest pride. She had a heart of gold and welcomed everyone into her home. She was a very social butterfly and the more people around the happier she was. She loved listening to music and talking for hours on the phone with her sister in law Mary Harnish whom will miss her dearly. She will forever be in our hearts.
Her passion was cooking and baking. She loved having company over and was renowned for making sure that everyone had enough to eat. You never left hungry.
We would like to send a special thank you to Dr. Scott and her team and the nurses on 5A, VG for their care and compassionate in the short time mom was there.
Marie was predeceased; by her parents Elizabeth (Roach) and Frederick Bona; mother in law Mae Martell and father in law Henry Martell.
