MARQUETTE, Mary Wallace Marquette - It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Wallace Marquette, on January 11, 2022, in Port Perry, Ontario.
Mary was born in Vancouver, BC to Angus and Irene Morrison, on March 27, 1947.
Mary was a delightfully intelligent person, passionate about a life well-lived.
Most importantly, Mary was a loving person with a fantastic sense of humour and boundless compassion. She had a special way of connecting with people and making friends everywhere she went.
After retiring, Mary and her husband, adventurers at heart, moved to the East Coast to be closer to family.
Mary was predeceased by her parents, as well as her sister Johan (Jim) Elgood and her son-in-law, Roger Slaney.
She is survived by her husband of almost 50 years, Ronald, her daughters Sarah (Bruce) Marquette and Valerie Marquette, as well as her nephew, Brian (Rowena) Elgood and her niece Barbara (Rick) Steele.
Her kindness and compassion live on in the memory and hearts of everyone who knew her, but especially the important children in her life: Claire, Nora, Dahlia, Gus, Rebecca, and Elizabeth.
Due to the restrictions of COVID-19 a private family service will be held in Port Perry, on Wednesday, January 19, 2022.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or the CHARITY of your choice, will be deeply appreciated by the family.
