Marion Smith Bairstow

Marion C. (Smith) Bairstow – 60, passed away peacefully with her husband, Clem, at her side on October 9, 2015 after a brave battle with cancer. She was the beloved wife of Clement G. Bairstow, with whom she recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.

Marion worked for more than 30 years at Blue Cross Blue Shield and was employed as a reporting analyst. She was passionate about boating and fishing, which she often did with her husband on their boat the “Glory Days”. She loved birds, especially the hummingbirds in her back yard. She had an infectious sense of humor: quick to laugh and eager to partake in any kind of fun. She always had a smile for every one and brought joy to so many people’s lives.
