Roode, Marny Isabel – It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Marny Isabel (Cole) Roode of College Lake, at the age of 80 years. Marny passed away peacefully on February 25, 2022, in Aberdeen Hospital Palliative Care Unit, surrounded by her family. She was born in Grand Manan, N.B. and grew up in Collingwood, N.S.
Marny trained to be an RN at Amherst Hospital and Children’s Hospital, Halifax and worked at Sutherland Harris Memorial Hospital and Children’s Hospital, Pictou. Along with her family, she spent many memorable years creating numerous travelling and camping adventures throughout the Maritimes. She was an avid sports fan, and cherished her beloved Senators and Blue Jays. She was never at a loss for conversation, as she knew every player and statistic on her teams.
She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Donnie; daughter, Debbie (Tom), Scotsburn; son, Barry, Italy; sister, Joanne, Clearwater, B.C.; nieces and nephews, Catherine, Norm, and Jerri; grandchildren, Brett (James), Isaac (Ericka), Cole; and great-grandchildren, Hunter, Brock and Autumn.
She was predeceased by her parents, Norman and Margaret Cole, Oxford; and her sister, Dawn, Vancouver.
We offer a special thanks for the compassion shown by Dr. Anne Kwasnik and staff on 4th floor and Palliative Care Units, Aberdeen Hospital.
A graveside funeral will be held, later in the summer, at Wyvern cemetery, Wyvern, Cumberland County.
Donations may be made to Canadian Mental Health Association or charity of choice.
