Andrew, Marion
August 4, 1932 – July 21, 2025
Marion Andrew, born August 4, 1932, from Schomberg, Ontario, formerly London, England, died July 21 at 92 years. Predeceased by her beloved husband Kenneth Leo Andrew (1991), her sister Joy, brother Michael, and granddaughter Avery (2019).
Marion attended JAGS, James Allen Girls School in Dulwich. Marion kept in touch with long-time school friends Leece Hunter and June Bloomfield. Marion studied to be a physio in England and took a ship, Holland America, to Ontario, Canada. She met Kenneth Leo Andrew (predeceased 1991), and they were married. Marion and Kenny adopted Robert Allen Andrew (1963), Nancy Jill Andrew (1965), and John Sydney Andrew (1968). Her son John had four girls.
Marion and Kenny moved from Cooksville to Schomberg in the country, bought a farm, and started raising horses. Marion was an equestrian rider. The farmhouse was totally redone to resemble an English manor—beautiful gardens, and beautifully furnished. Marion did all of the interior and exterior. Marion worked at Lyndhurst Lodge, Sick Kids Hospital, and finished her career at W.S.I.B., where she also received her Bachelor of Science in 1992. Marion retired at 60 and also became a Canadian citizen. Marion had travelled the whole world through cruises and also took her children on incredible trips. Whatever Marion put her mind to was done 110% always. Marion was an avid Blue Jays and Toronto Maple Leafs fan.
Marion was a woman of endless curiosity and adventure. She raced stock cars at the old CNE track and jumped from an aircraft. She was an artist, gardener, an academic, and she loved her books. Very passionate about politics and world issues.
An incredible woman has passed.

That was her own goal. She was. She was unhappy the Doc was held up in hospital 30 minutes to deliver MAID. ” Where the hell is he?” @ 5:05.

Ann and Pete Wilson says
Marion was our long time friend and fellow equestrian. Marion was an independent thinker, well versed in history and world events, but adventurous and fun-loving too. We enjoyed wild rides on our horses and competing at the local horse show. Never a dull moment in Marion’s company. Pete was happy to help around her farm and felt close to her also. She will be missed by us both and never forgotten. Ann and Pete.
Robert Andrew says
Thank you both. Glad Nancy found you to inform.
Mom loved you both and frankly you two were her last real friends . I thank you for that. It’s priceless. She was picky.
