Born in Halifax on February 8, 1935, Marina was a daughter of the late George and Susanna Crews. In 1954 Marina entered the Salvation Army Training College, Toronto and served 10 years ministering in the Salvation Army children’s homes in Toronto and London Ontario, and then moved to an administrative position within the Head Office of the Presbyterian Church of Canada, where she worked for over 30 years. Marina was a strong woman of faith who was active in her church, loved to care for others and was the family photographer at all events. Her favourite place to be was in her summer trailer at Jackson's Point in Georgina, Ontario. Her independent spirit, quick wit and sharp sense of humour will be greatly missed.
Marina is survived by her sister-in-law, Major Jeanette Crews and many nieces and nephews. She was pre-deceased by siblings Don, Stan, Tommy, Ken, Maude, Frank, Herbert, Theodore, Henry and Margaret. We would like to thank the staff of the Salvation Army Meighen Manor for all of their support and care, especially Dr. Kohut, Teresa Wright and Head Nurse Jimmy. A private, closed memorial will be held on Saturday, July 4 at 11 AM and will be broadcast on Zoom via this link:
