Marilynne Ann Skinner

Predeceased by her parents Benny and Stella. Lovingly remembered by cousins Norman and Chris, stepdaughter Dawn, BFF Marita, Liz, Margaret, Chris and Brydon and many other cousins and friends.

During the late sixties and into the seventies, Marilynne worked part-time at the Grandstand at the CNE in Toronto (now known as the BMO Field) at one of the food booths. Throughout those years, she met many celebrities, received autographs and enjoyed talking with everyone. She had many stories to tell.

Later, after teaching for a year, she worked at the Workers Compensation Board (WSIB) in Toronto, then finishing in the Hamilton Office.

After leaving the board, along with volunteering her time at Macassa Lodge, Marilynne worked part-time as a cashier first at Hy & Zels and then at No Frills, where she enjoyed meeting customers and fellow employees and making new friends.

Her many hobbies throughout the years included baking cakes, crocheting hats and blankets, which she shared the results of both with friends, relatives and organizations benefitting peoples’ needs.

The love of her “boys” – Chico and Pancho (who are with her now) brought great joy and companionship to her for 16 wonderful years.

Cremation has taken place. A visitation and celebration of life will be held on Wednesday, May 31, 2023 from 11-1 p.m. at Cresmount Funeral Home, Fennell Chapel, 322 Fennell Avenue East, Hamilton. A service will be held in the chapel at 1 p.m. with interment to follow at Mount Hamilton Cemetery.
