I sure miss talking to Marion on the phone I have many memories of Marion and Willis brings tears to my eyes with memories

Mrs Sayeau gave me this while i was in high school, i still have it 

Marion was always kind to me.  We had a mutual church friend,  Edna Philp of Tyrone who we knew since the 1970s.  I would see Marion at Carriage Country Baptist Church in later years.

I was very saddened to learn of Marion’s passing.  So thankful that my sister Cheryl and I had recently shared an afternoon of fellowship with Marion and Brian and reminiscing of days gone by. I send my love and prayers to the entire family.

I'm so sorry to hear about Marion passing away. She was a beautiful person inside and out. I know she is with the Lord because of who she was and all the good she did for everyone while she lived on this earth.  I loved her very much, she was an amazing woman.

My deepest condolences to all her children and grandchildren. May she live in your hearts always and the precious memories stay with you all forever. 

Dear Steven, Michael, Brian, Carl & family.  We are deeply saddened to have just learned of Marion's passing.  Our deepest condolences from the Kingsley family.  She will be dearly missed.  Marion became an important part of our lives years ago when she took Jennifer & Robyn under her wing & provided child care for me. I could go to work with the peace of mind that they would be well taken care of and loved.  Her strong Christian faith, partnered with our own, enriched our lives beyond words. Marion was another Grandma to my girls and loved them as her own. Over the years, it was a delight to pop in for a quick hello, or run into her while out shopping.  We were so blessed to have had the Sayeau family part of our community & our lives. Rest in Peace Marion, Bless you Marion. Until we meet again.  Larry, Diana, Robyn & Jennifer Kingsley

It saddens my heart to learn about the passing of Marion. 
Marion was my sister’s and mine’s babysitter while we attended Mitchell’s Corners Public School.
I always enjoyed spending time at the Sayeau house with Marion and Willis. I would always keep Marion company by helping her pack boxes for Indigenous people and help take them to the post office in Hampton. Marion taught me about the Lord and read me many bible stories. We enjoyed our walks with their dog Sarah but our favourite thing to do was play crazy 8’s.
Marion had a very warm and kind heart. She later opened her house to look after a couple more neighbourhood kids before school.  She has made a big impression not only on my heart but many other’s. Marion will be greatly missed.


To Michael, Carl, Steven and Brian my heart goes out to you and all the grandchildren.  Marion was so amazing to be around. She was my friend.  I miss her. 
Love Colleen 

Marion was always full of love and kindness .I learned bible study as a child from her but she glowed with goodness always .Mother in law to my sister Debbie who passed in1986 she has been part of our family continuously.Willis always found time to help neighborhood kids or myself  or Anyone with Car problems and jokes of plenty. They are both finest people there is.my mom is sad to hear about Marion her good friend .mike You're my brother inlaw always and i feel Marion is a saint and I have alot of respect for acts of goodness and is family to my family always. 

Forty six years of friendship with a life time of the experiences we have shared in our Christian walk and we had so much fun together. 

The one memory of Marion's teachings was with flannel grass stories, which she asked me to do at her home. I knew the story well,  but had never used flannel grass and put the figures in the wrong places.  Much to the laughter of the children. 

It was a wonderful friendship with lots of memories.

With lots of love to you all, 
Mary and Larry Farrell

Marion or as I called here Mrs Sayeau was a wonderful lady.  When I was living in Mitchells, my maiden name was Thompson.  My dad and Willas drove to work together.  Marion and I had many conversations on the bible and she passed that along to me.  She was so smart.

She is by her Lord.  May all of is remember her ministry.  May we meet again.  Please say hi to my Mom.

People you encounter on the path of life may affect you on your journey. Their greatest gift to you, is leaving you with a memory that you will never forget. Memories to make you smile, cry, laugh or impart a wisdom that you can share with someone else. Your memory of them, ensures they will live on as you remember them.  

I remember Aunt Marion working hard to help the Indigenous people in Northern Ontario. I remember attending bible classes at her home. I remember picking up Carl for overnight fishing trips at Wilmot Creek and the smell of a busy kitchen. 

When we first started attending King St. (Pentecostal Church). Mom and Aunt Marion would take turns driving. I remember Aunt Marion and Mom being called the M & M's, yes like the candy! Both were sweet and one was a little nutty! If you remember way back then, you'll know who was who. I remember sitting in the back seat of that big Oldsmobile Delta 88, while mom and Aunt Marion talked about the Lord and the church. Sometimes they would be so involved in their chats, I was certain God was the co-pilot! Just ask Carl and my brother Paul. I remember playing pranks and joking around with Aunt Marion she would simply reply with... "Oh Steven, you are going to be a comedian when you grow up." Sadly, that didn't happen. 

Aunt Marion was positive, patient, kind and she loved everyone unconditionally. Although I will miss Aunt Marion, she will always be remembered fondly. 

Love; Steve, Kim, Ryan, Keegan Farrell    

Marion will always be fondly remembered in our hearts & thoughts. She was everything that was shared in the lovely service which we viewed online, & more. She was a wonderful person, loved & adored by all who knew her. She always had a smile, & a word of encouragement to give to others. We will remember her love of the Lord, whom she served with joy. She delighted in hearing & talking about Jesus, & in joining others in communing with Him. She put her faith into action, giving, sharing, & doing whatever was needed. The parcels she sent to our native peoples in the north were remarkable... all done as a labour of love.
"Enter thou into the presence of your Lord, Marion". Today heaven rejoices in the radiance & beauty of your presence!
Our deepest condolences & love to Steven, Michael, Brian, Carl & all Marion's grand- & great grandchildren & loved ones.
            - Sincerely, John & Chrissie Laari & family  

Thoughts and prayers are with all of the family in these tough times.  We have had many amazing times with the Sayeau family living in Zion.  We were the lucky ones to have you guys as fantastic neighbour and most of all good close friends over the years.

SO  SORRY  TO  HEAR  OF  THE  LOSS  OF YOUR  MOTHER--SHE  WAS  A  VERY  SPECIAL  LADY--AND  SHE  WILL  BE  SADLY  MISSED  BY  ALL.   THOUGHTS  AND  PRAYERS  ARE  WILL  YOU . GOD  BLESS  YOU  ALL.

BOBBY  CLARK  AND  FAMILY

Growing up at Mitchels Corners, "Aunt Marion" was  my adopted Mother.  Always a place of refuge, always a big smile, a hug  "how are you dear",  encouraging words, and never making you feel you were not important.

Along with taking care of "her boys" and Uncle Willis, she had energy, a willingness to throw herself into so much along with different  bible studies and church functions over the years, clothing for missions, and so much  more, never expecting anything in return. 

Yes, she had health issues, but I don't remember her letting them get her down, or stopping her from sharing about Jesus  and His love.

I remember once when she was in ICU, I told the nurses I was her adopted daughter when they asked if I was family-they let me in.   

Thanks Aunt Marion for your love, you did so much for me.  Love and miss you.   


In 1979, my family and I moved to Mitchell Corners, right next door to Marion and her family.  Best neighbours ever!  Marion was always a very kindhearted, caring and giving person, and she was always very generous with her hugs. 

We love you and we miss you, but we know that you are in a better place now, reunited with your dear husband Willis.

Our sincere condolences to the Sayeau family.   Heaven has truly gained a very special Angel.

Marion was such a warm, caring Christian lady.  We shall miss her very much at our church, but we rejoice that she is at home now with our Lord.

We wish her family comfort and strength at this time.

Always looked forward to Marion coming for her reflexogy sessions & our phone visits.
A wonderful caring servant for our Dear LORD.
May you find peace & comfort with all your memories of a wonderful caring Mom.

Aunt Marion had a heart of gold. She would always think of others and kind to all.  Always bringing the family together for dinners and good times. She was loved and will be missed. Sheldon, Virginia Nicole and Emma Harrington.

I would like to offer my sincere condolence to the Sayeau  family and I really enjoyed having Marion and Willis for a friend and just like to say how sorry I am and I will hold on to all my memories of Marion

I knew Mrs Sayeau from a young girl going to Mitchell Corners Public School. She would wave good morning to all of us walking to school and again when we were walking home. When we went off to MJ Hobbs and got to ride the school bus, Mrs Sayeau never let us stand in the rain or cold. She always made us go inside her mud room and wait. Even when she had it full of clothes to donate, she would tell us to just on a pile and keep warm! 
Such a beautiful and kind soul. Willis would even pop his head in from time to time to tell us a joke or two.  I remember sitting inside their home and drinking glasses of water on hot days when I would play with my friend Jennifer, whom Mrs Sayeau would watch along with her younger sister after school. 
My deepest condolences to all of you, your mom, grandma, great grandma made a huge impact on each of us who knew her. She was loved and loved back unconditionally. 
I’m so honoured to have known her❤️

Lena and family, 

I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope you can find comfort in all of the great memories you share together.

XXOO,
Jackie

My condolences to my friend Mike his wife  Lena and all the Sayeau family on your loss. I have been friends with Michael for many years when we met at GM. Although I only met Marion one time when Mike and I visited her at her house some years back. She was so welcoming and sincere, true to the words Mike would speak about her.  I know Mike, Lena and their children will so miss his Mom and their grandmother. Time does help to heal and over time. I am sure many memories and smiles will be shared with with others on Marion's life. Hopefully soon Mike and I can get out for coffee and breakfasts again and catch up on things. I do miss our visits. Please be assured that you are in my prayers and thoughts at this difficult time.  Rob W.

In 1956 Willis and Marian encouraged me to go to Oshawa at the young age of 17 years and got me a job with GM.  I lived with them for approximately 2 years.  I am very grateful for all they done for me.  I helped dig the well at their new home. Sincere sympathy to all.

Steven, Brian Mike, Carl & Family,
We are so sad at this time and sending our sympathy. Your mom was like a 2nd mom to Scott & I  and like a gramma to our children.  She was a caring loving woman.  She had the biggest heart and loved everyone.  Her thoughts were always to help others.  Her beliefs were strong and we respected her for that.  
We are going to miss her a lot.  Our times that we visited for a wonderful chat.  
It will not be the same to drive down Zion Road (Trull's Road) knowing that Marion is not sitting in her chair looking out the front window.
Our love goes out to all of you. We will be thinking of you on Monday as you say good bye to your mom & gramma.
All our Love,
Cathy & Scott & Family
