HAYES, Marlene Hayes, Obituary

HAYES, Marlene  – Peacefully on December 22, 2015, Marlene Hayes, 69 of Off Lake, ON passed away at the Emo Hospital with her husband Jim at her side.

Marlene was born on November 17, 1946 in Emo ON to Duncan and Hilda Magill.

Marlene married Jim Hayes on March 25, 1969. Thru the years Jim and Marlene owned and operated two fishing resorts, Pipestone Lodge on Pipestone Lake and Lost Island Lodge on Lac Seul.

During those years Marlene ran the kitchen where she carefully prepared homemade meals for their guests.

When reminiscing about the past, she always laughed about the mountain of potatoes she peeled over the years.

In 2003, Jim and Marlene retired to their home on Off Lake where Marlene enjoyed tending to her garden, spending time with family and friends and fussing over her beloved little dog Abby.

Marlene also enjoyed trips to the cabin on Pipestone Lake, where she loved to sit on the deck in the evenings listening to the loons and watching the sun go down.

Marlene is survived by her husband Jim, daughters Tracey Roen and Michelle Gaffney (John), her grandchildren TJ, Jessica and Julia Roen and James and Jack Gaffney. She is also survived by her brothers Gary Magill (Helen) and Doug Magill, brother in laws Brad Hayes and Shane (Chris) along with many loved nieces and nephews.

Marlene was predeceased by her parents Duncan and Hilda Magill, grandson Jason Roen and father and mother in law James and Marjorie Hayes.

Rather than a funeral the family will have a private Celebration of Life at a later date.

The family would like to thank Dr. Kim Meyers and the entire Emo Hospital staff for their exceptional care and kindness Marlene received.

If desired memorial donations may be made in Marlene’s memory to the Emo Hospital.
