CLÉMENT, Merion (nee BROUGH) - July 24, 1933, Hartlepool, England - January 20, 2022, Niagara-on-the -Lake, ON.
It is with tremendous sadness we announce the passing of Merion Clément in her 89th year on Thursday, January 20, 2022 in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Beloved mother of Christina (Tina) Clément, sister to Winifred McLurg and aunt to Julie McLurg.
Merion was born on July 24, 1933 in Hartlepool, England. In her early adult years, she worked as a certified law clerk in Lincoln's Inn Fields in London.
Shortly thereafter she met her Swedish husband, Johan Clément, and moved to Scandinavia where she worked for the Helsinki Steamship Company.
They immigrated to Canada in 1956.
Embarking on a new chapter, she became the Secretary Treasurer to the Civil Service Association of Ontario (now OPSU).
Merion decided to retire at the age of 79 and move from downtown Toronto. Together with Tina they moved to Niagara-on-the-Lake and enjoyed 10 wonderful years. She will be greatly missed by her Toronto friends, her community in The Village of NOTL and most of all by her daughter and best friend, Tina.
A very special thank you to Dr. Timothy Bastedo of the NNFHT and Dr. Michael Levesque of the Walker Cancer Centre for all their amazing care.
Thank you to Catherine and Vicky at Simpson's Pharmacy for their unbelievable support.
A heartfelt thanks to Erna Antaya for her steadfast support and love throughout Merion's journey.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date. Private family arrangements.
