Her Winnipeg General Hospital Nursing 62B classmates will miss Marilyn at our reunions. We remember her for energetic ways is helping organize them. She was alway cheerful and classmates fondly her laugh. We will miss her.

Marilyn became a good friend when we met at Churchill High school. We remained friends until her sudden death in July.

I am so very grateful that she took it upon herself to form the twice a year breakfast gatherings for the alumni of the first three graduating classes of Churchill High.

My condolences to her family and to Gord Harris, another alumnus.

We will carry on with the breakfasts even though we are a small number of almost lifelong friends now.

Our memories of you Marilyn keep our hearts full. ❤️

I'm so sorry to Marilyn's family. Carol and I went to HS together and not long after graduation, Marilyn and I became classmates in Psych stats! Nightmare class but she helped me get through it and to this day it remains one of my greatest achievements...so thank you Marilyn for your encouragement all those years ago. And you raised two very wonderful daughters who are pretty cool in high school but beyond that became amazing human beings. Till we meet again, just know that you will be sorely missed by a great many people..

Although we were separated by distance I loved my Grandma sooooo much! I cherish my memories growing up and getting to spend a week every summer with her. She took us everywhere, the childrens museum, the forks, goldeyes games, rainbow stage, festivals in the parks. Grandma was one of the strongest people I know and really had a big part shaping who I am today. I can hear her saying "don't borrow trouble Amy" teaching me not to worry about things we can't control. I also have a memory of her us crossing a busy street in Winnipeg one time, and being nervous about the traffic whizzing by. Her response was "don't worry Amy.... That's why cars have brakes!". I also remember during my visit one time she came home with a big patch on her eye. Asking what had happened she said "oh just a touch of plastic surgery no big deal" and proceeded to carry on, business as usual. She was not a complainer. I also remember saying one time "Grandma my elbow hurts right here"... To which she replied, well don't touch it there then! It really took a lot to rattle her, and in fact I don't think I've ever seen her rattled. Except when there was a thunderstorm. She was steadfast and confident and strong in everything she did. I can picture so clearly her eating her morning fruit salad and rye toast, doing her crossword puzzle. Sharp till the end, which suits her. I will miss her so so much. My heart is with my Winnipeg family during this time.

I was deaply saddenend to learn of Marilyn's sudden passing. For almost 20 years she was the driving force behind the bi-annual breakfast of Churchill High scool graduates. She organized the event shortly after the 50th anniversary of Churchill high in order to keep in touch with the many friends and graduates as they dispersed all over the world, With her meticulous record keeping she soon amassed a wealth of information on who was doing what,and where as well as those who had passed before us. Never for a moment did it occur to anyone that she would join the ranks of the former group so soon. Her tireless dedication to her task has left us with a wealth of photos and information along with the requisit breakfast photo albums and guest book from each year. She will be dearly missed, not ony for her work with the group, but for her incredible personality, amazing memory, hugs at breakfast and her love for the Blue Bombers. Rest in peace Marilyn.

Sincere condolences to Marilyn family.

she was a lovely lady! Enjoyed our McMullan get togethers and card playing!

I remembered the time when Marilyn discovered that she and I shared the same birthday (March 2)), we were both working in NICU and she suggested we go have a cone at McDonald's to celebrate our day.. For years following that we e used to send each other cards celebrating our day.. I will always remember you on our birthday dearest Marilyn. RIP

Marilyn was one of a kind, she will be truly missed. I first meet Marilyn when I started working in NICU she was so welcoming and helpful and a dear friend to all who knew her. Organizing our retirees monthly breakfasts to her Christmas lunches. May she be at peace with her loving Geoff, Miss you Marilyn Thank you

We lost a very special lady on Tues - the BEST! I am heartbroken 💔 I can only describe Marilyn as being a second Mom to me. She always asked me to join in many family functions for well over 30 years! Unconditionally - her door was always open. We have been fortunate that Carol shared her with us always! Many laughs together especially when we golfed and both landed in the beach together on EVERY hole one summer not long ago. 😂 I am so very fortunate to have shared many birthday gatherings with Carol and of course Marilyn would always make my favourite cupcake! She even shared the same birthdate with my youngest daughter! Christmas dinner was always so memorable. Pies, cupcakes and so many yummy meals - Oh and the best chicken livers I have ever had!

A genuine friendship that I miss already so very much. Marilyn I will forever cherish your last hug with me 💔🥲 Rest in peace with no pain and please give Geoff, Jake, Darcy and Ed a snuggle from all of us. 😇

So sad to read about Marilyn's passing. She was a friend to everyone, and always willing to offer a helping hand.

Getting to know Marilyn was a pleasure and I felt lucky to even have known her for a view short years. She was a good listener and was genuinely interested in hearing my babble. I loved that we talked like we were the same age. I will miss you Marilyn. Your love will shine through both your girls and the lives youve touched. I'm sure you will be heading up some bowling league and nursing some babies in heaven. Until we meet again~Enjoy being pain free♥️♥️

I am sure going to miss you Marilyn.

Dad will show you the ropes .

Oh my Marilyn, you always made time for a coffee or lunch with a smile and a "lets get out the calendar and set a date"! Our MTC nights were the highlight of my month and let me be a

part of the love you shared with us girls who sat together and shared the show.

You made it happen!! Thanks for our last visit where you shared your fabulous European River cruise adventures with Cam and I over a coffee together and ignited our desire to do the same in the near future. The sparkle in your eyes and your love of travel with your daughters and friends was infectious. Your place in my life is treasured and will live with me forever.

love you,

Jan
