Marie moved to Vancouver from Sweden with her parents in 1954 where she met many friends that she has kept in contact with all these years. She found her love Stan in her teenage years and they later married in 1959 and started a family. Through Stan’s work they had relocated to several areas, first to Nelson, BC and then to Chilliwack, BC. When the children were all grown they packed up their house, and moved to Surrey, BC before heading south to San Jose, California for a few years and then back to Canada, to Chilliwack which is where they always called home.
Marie was an active volunteer in many activities within the community: The Chilliwack Player’s Guild, The Chilliwack Jazz Society, The Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life and last but not least she had a passion for figure skating started in Nelson with all her kids and herself as members of the Nelson Figure Skating Club. When they landed in Chilliwack in 1975 where she dedicated many years to both The Cheam Figure Skating Club and The Canadian Figure Skating Association. Through these activites Marie had gained many life long friendships and will be missed by many.
Many thanks to those who have helped with the needs of Marie over the past few years; the entire staff at Crystal Ridge Manor and Chilliwack General Hospital.
Due to the pandemic, a memorial will be held privately for the family members only.
