Aug 16, 1924 - Feb 17, 2012

 

Marion May Martin passed away with family by her side after several years of living with Alzheimer’s disease.

Marion is survived by her children Wendy Wandio (Bill), Linda Boisvert (Don), Laura Chance (Mike), and Patrick Martin (Melinda Lane); nine grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; one sister, Eunice Martin; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband of 67 years, Allan Cameron Martin in 2009; by her brothers Albert Abraham, Lawrence Abram (Jessie), and Gordon Abram (Lillian); and by her sisters Jean Gaetz (Lou), Edna Nowicki (Joe), and Beatrice Petryshyn (Mike).

Marion will be lovingly remembered for her dedication to family and friends, her enjoyment of walking, fishing and playing games, and her exemplary work ethic. She led a full and happy life until her mind and body were diminished by illness.
