Marlene Jean Elliott

Marlene was born in White Rock, B.C. and grew up in New Westminster; a Mayday Maid of Honour who met British Royalty. She was a talented tap-dancer who, as a young girl, was too shy to leave her parents to follow an opportunity to dance at a school in New York City. Marlene worked as a cartoonist for the Province newspaper. After starting a family, Marlene moved to Ladner B.C. where she spent many happy years with her husband and children. As her kids grew she decided to become a florist and had the best eye for decorating. Marlene also spent many years volunteering for the Delta Hospital Auxiliary. As age crept in, the time eventually came to move to an assisted living home in Calgary, Alberta. It was here she spent the last precious years with her daughter and family.

Marlene was a strong lady who suffered through and conquered many illnesses in her life, but she remained a caring person who always had a smile on her face. She was a loving wife, mother and a devoted grandma. Marlene loved her grandchildren dearly and spent every moment she could loving and caring for them; making memories that will last a lifetime. They will remember her love of strong coffee, her talent for cooking and baking, and how she could always be heard humming or singing softly.

She will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her children and their families, Wayne & Sherree Elliott, John & Tracy Elliott, and Kelly & Stuart Stobbe; her grandchildren, Jason, Jesse, Courtenay, Laura, Carson, Kristina, Alison, and Sarah; and eight great-grandchildren. Also left to mourn Marlene is her sister, Sharon Rogers.

Marlene was predeceased by her husband, Eugene Elliott; her granddaughters, Erin Elliott and Taylor Stobbe; and her brother, Don Randall.

Marlene is a very special lady who will be remembered and missed by many. May she rest easy now with those who have gone before her. Let her know that her memory will carry on in the hearts of those who loved her.

We will miss you Mom

Love You Always

XOXO
