WINTERS – Marilyn Dawn, 72, of Liverpool, passed away March 2, 2021 in Queens General Hospital.
Born in Pugwash, Marilyn was a daughter of the late Arthur and Marguerite Wamback.
In Marilyn’s earlier years, she spent her days working for the Teddy bear Express and Make-A-Wish Foundation bringing smiles to the faces of many.
She and her husband, Joe, had a great love for travel and saw many parts of the world with New Orleans being their favourite to visit. She had always said how thankful she was for the things she saw and experienced in her lifetime.
Marilyn had many passions with some being her love of folk art as Joe was a great artist, eating ice cream, cats, spending many days in Frenchy’s, being silly, collecting anything Betty Boop, the dance ceremonies of the Funky Witches and Beach Meadows Beach which Marilyn considered her “happy place”.
Marilyn will always be remembered for her spunk, free spirit, her compassion, colourful hair and mostly as the lady who drove the pink Hummer.
