They soon found themselves in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and in 1965 welcomed their first child, followed shortly by another in 1966. 1974 saw the family move to Saskatoon, where Marion enjoyed the company not only of her family, but also of her beloved dogs. Irish Setters at first, then Golden Retrievers. Throughout her life, Marion greatly cherished the love and friendship of the many neighbors and parents of her boys’ soccer and hockey teammates, even if not all of them could ever completely understand her Glaswegian accent, which she never lost.

She is survived by Harry, her husband of 57 years; her sons, Ken (Deanna), Ian (Karen), and her grandchildren, Simon and Claire. As per Marion’s request, there will be no funeral service.
