Marion Victoria Snowdon

Marion, born November 14, 1930, in Nobleford Alberta, was the youngest of two children born to William and May Henry. Soon after, they moved to Lethbridge Alberta where Marion grew up and met the love of her life, Bill Snowdon. After they graduated from Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, they went to the University of Alberta where Marion got her Nursing Degree.

In 1953, Marion and Bill married and moved to Calgary where they raised 3 children: Barbara, Susan and Bob.

Marion gave tirelessly over the years to her family, friends and church community. She volunteered with Meals on Wheels for 36 years.

Marion is lovingly remembered by her 2 surviving children Bob Snowdon and Susan Gilchrist, sons-in-law Colin Gilchrist, Bob Coyle and Dale Ellert and her precious granddaughter Myah Gilchrist. She is also remembered by her sisters-in-law Marianne Fairbanks (Lee) and Marg O’Brien, as well as extended family and friends.

Marion was predeceased by her husband Bill Snowdon, brother Robert Henry (Audrey), daughter Barbara Snowdon (Bob), brothers-in-law Don Snowdon, Dale O’Brien(Marg), Terry Williams (Marianne) and niece Laurie O’Brien.
