Marilyn was a loving mother to Doug and his wife Diane, Ted and his wife Jenny.

Cherished grandmother to Jessica and Evan. Marilyn is pre-deceased by her sister Barbara Braid and her brother Robert Mason. Family was everything to Marilyn and her true joy was time spent with her family sharing stories and researching her family history.

After working for several years in New Jersey, Marilyn returned to school at University of Western Ontario to graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
