It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the sudden passing of Marilyn at the age of 70.
She is daughter of the late Bob and Laura Sabourin. She will be reunited with her late husband Martin Swanson. Loving mother of Wesley O'Connor (Maria) and Crystal O'Connor (Martin). Proud Nanny of Austin, Bree, Bailey and Sierra. Great grandmother of many. Predeceased by her siblings Abel, Noreen, Floyd, Hazel, Claire and Maryanne. She leaves behind many other friends and family members who will miss her.
Marilyn will be fondly remembered for her strong independence and her perseverance. She lived for her great grandchildren and was happiest when she was with them. She loved going to BINGO with her "dabbing partners". She recently took up travelling, and our family now takes peace knowing that she is on her final heavenly journey.
