Marion is predeceased by her husband Fred, parents Kate and Eddie and sister Dorothy. She leaves behind her sister Carol (Denny) Pack, her son Dave (Shelley) O'Grady, daughters Lynn (Don) Trostheim and Kat O'Grady, grandchildren Shane (Jennifer) O'Grady, Kelsey (Alastair Wain) O'Grady, Ty and Alex Trostheim, and great grandchildren Brenden Duke and Dylan Annaleigh O'Grady.

Marion was born and raised in Doncaster England. She was the middle of three sisters all born seven years apart. She had a great passion for cycling and most weekends were spent biking around Yorkshire with the Doncaster Wheelers. This is how she met Fred and they began their great adventure at age 19 to immigrate to Canada.

Memorable years in Marion's life include 1955 when she and Fred were married after arriving in Canada and received their Canadian Citizenship and 1960 when she was baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Home and family were very important to Marion. he was a skilled seamstress, decorator, knitter and gardener and was forever updating whatever house the family lived in. She had a beautiful singing voice and enjoyed participating in Sweet Adelines and Happy Choristers. While Fred was alive they were avid golfers, skiers, badminton players and enjoyed trooping around BC on their motorbike.

Marion's family would like to thank the many friends who helped Marion and us especially over the last couple of months. We would like to thank Marion's friends in the LDS church and we would like to thank the staff and volunteers at Hospice who cared for Marion and us in her final weeks.

We will miss you very much Mom but know it is time for you to join Dad on your bikes in heaven.

Due to Covid restrictions family and friends will gather at a later date when it is safe to do so.
