We shared many good times with Marilynn over the years as neighbours. Porch visits and walks were always pleasant times. She was well loved and missed since moving away. Remembering the fun times. Sheldon and Marian

To Marilynn ‘s family, we were very sorry to hear of Marilynn’ s passing. We were part of the Westmount Mall group and enjoyed visiting with her. We will be thinking of you in the difficult times ahead.
I will cherish very fond memories of your Mom, sharing a laugh with her on my front porch. She was like a second Mom to me, always offering a listening ear to my struggles with health issues.

Our prayers are with you all on your Mother’s and Grandmother’s passing.
She was a dear friend of our mother Jean Embury.
We enjoyed having many outings and dinners with her over the years, she was always so bubbly, outgoing and always made us laugh.
She will be dearly missed.

My sincere condolences to Marilynn’s family. She was such a beautiful, sweet lady. We were neighbours in Kensal Park for many years. Loved our talks as she passed by on her many walks in the neighborhood.
