It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Noreen Bernadette Mark who was born in St. Paul’s Grenada, lived in London, Ontario, and passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 8, 2022, surrounded by her loved ones. In Grenada, Noreen was a member of the Grenada Civil Service and in Canada, she was a Social Worker and a Montessori teacher. Noreen loved music, singing and dancing and had a deep and enduring faith in God. Above all else, she treasured her family.
