Marilyn was many things to many people. In addition to being an incredible wife, mother, grandmother, teacher and friend; she was also
a world traveler who continued to explore the globe late into the end of her amazing life seizing every opportunity for new adventures and
learning.

for environmental rights and some of the many groups and organizations in which she was involved include: Mining Watch Canada, Bedford Mining Alert, Friends of Foley Mountain and Heart to Heart.

Her spirit remains strong at Green Lake in Burridge, Ontario where she welcomed everyone into her home with open arms.

Our family would like to invite friends to a Celebration of Marilyn's Life on Saturday August 30th, 2pm-4pmat the Althorpe Bolingbroke
Community Hall (ABC Hall) located at 3166 Bolingbroke Road.
